A1200 slowly dying?

[dandelion]

Good luck finding a solution to these issues. I'm an ex-1200 owner and even in the late nineties they seemed a lot more flakey once I started going beyond a memory upgrade and a 2.5" HD (tjen the advice was always get an up-rated power suppy).

What's deemed to be the most reliable, stable, dependable classic Amiga workhorse available? I had a 4090 and that seemed worse still...could never trust it for important work. Would eg. a 500+ be more solid/stable than a 1200?

Even new hardware from Jens and Elbox have issues, but when people put forth anything bad about these products the defenders shoot you down or they ignore you.

The Indivision AGA MK2 is a prime example, a real bitch to setup. Once setup fantastic. The software for it is extremely bad but of course it sort of works so Jens wont improve on it or even finish it properly.

The rolling of the dice when you push the power button, should be the slogan.

Any experience with the reliability of the ACA500? It looks like an incredible product, but is it too good to be true?
