Hi and welcome.

PiStorm32 Lite with a Pi4B works well in the A1200 and lets you have loads of storage and extra RAM, wifi, ethernat and USB. Also HDMI out except for games, although you can use a Framethrower, which redirects the RGB output to the Pi, so you can just use the one HDMI monitor/TV.

Do you know about the various user group meeting within a reasonable distance of Cumbria?

User Groups - depends on how far you are willing to travel and where you are based, I suppose.

North West Amiga Group, NWAG. Their next meeting has just been announced for 20th June at the NorthWest Computer Museum, Leigh, Wigan. They often have twi meetings with the Yorkshire Amiga Group, YAG, at Littleborough Bowing Club, Rochdale

North East Amiga Group, NEAG. Next meeting is 30th May at St Nicholas Church Hall, North Road, West Boldon NE36 0QQ

Scottish Amiga Users Group, SAUG. Not sure but there may be a meeting coming up 16th June at Rosyth (just over the bridge into Fife from Edinburgh)

I'm Dumfries based and I'm trying to start a retro computer group with live meetings between Dumfries and Carlisle, if you are anywhere near.

South Lakes mate. Find Windermere and go directly south. I’m right on the coast of Morecambe Bay.

Grange? Cark? I lived in Barrow-in-Furness for several years before I moved up to Dumfries.

I'd say NWAG is probably your closest user group.

I'll keep you in mindif I ever get enough folk wanting to rent a small hall for a meeting
