Title: Which A1200?
Post by: Stingray on December 28, 2005, 10:43:16 AM

Now you got me, I am thinking about buying an A1200, but I am not sure which to buy. I know there are two revisions, one being from AT with the "drive problem".

Can anybody tell me if there are still other A1200s available?

What about this one (http://www.vesalia.de/e_a1200.htm) from Vesalia?


Thanks!

Chris

Hi,
 Wherever you get it from there's a good chance you will get the crappy floppy drive if it's an AT type. Unfortunately I did but luckily I'm good with a soldering iron. It's a very easy mod(one wire) and either get an old type drive (still looking) or mod the drive if it's the Panasonic type. I would rather have put an old drive in to be honest.
Remember as well that you can't just put the old type in the A1200AT, you have to unmod the mod.
