A person with A1200 in Munich? Help needed
« on: December 06, 2012, 05:41:43 PM »
Hi guys!

I already asked this question in a1k.org but so far nobody responded. Maybe here I'll be lucky.

I'm looking for someone who lives in Munich and is willing to check my  turbo board in his Amiga 1200. I would appreciate it much.

Thank you in advance and greetings for all readers,
Peter

You are willing to meet with some stranger to hand your turbo board and come to his place or he brings his A1200 to your place to check about your board??? Wouldn't it be better, safer and more rational to just simply mail it to amigakit.com itself for report checking? I mean I know this is a community and all...but I wouldn't go as far as meet a stranger here not until I know that person for a very long time...

Well, I didn't think that way. I know people can be bad but I assume here, on Amiga portal, we have "normal" people :)
I don't want to send it, I just want to meet (and I think it would be more convenient to take small card instead of bringing to my place whole A1200) and simply check if it works or not. Not a big deal.

Anyway, thank you for suggestion.

I dont agree at all. Sure, not everything can be 'checked' by random Amiga users and Im sure thats where Amigakit can step in, but just for testing an accelerator you can and should depend on your local community.. And Im sure there is someone around in the Munich area that can help you.

That's what I'm counting on!
Thank you guys for quick response. I'll let you know if something happens.

Have a nice day/afternoon depending on your DST :)

Well... I'm from Munich but I'm rather scared to touch my A1200T. Never change a running system...

 Hello platon42

The operation limits only to take out your turbo card and put mine. After that even from an CLI-shell you just check if the system sees the new CPU and FAST memory (showconfig (or similar) and SYSINFO). That's all.
But if you feel uncomfortable... Well, I wouldn't like this to give you a heart attack ;)

Let me know.

Cheers,
Peter

[Update]
Thank you Borut.

Chris, I understood and agree. I assumed, wrongly, that you have just a turbo card and nothing else.
I'll try on amiga-news.de. If I'm lucky and find someone that'd be good. If not... well, maybe I'll get A1200 soon and check it on my own ;)

Saludos!
