My Amiga Dream is Dead!
« on: January 18, 2017, 04:20:56 PM »
Travel back in time to the early 1990s, I wanted an Amiga 1200 more than anything buy couldn't afford it, so I settled on an Amiga 600 . Decades later my 600 is long gone but I decided to jump back in, and finally achieve my dream of owning an A1200. I Found a new 1200 case and keyboard, got a gotek floppy emulator, and IDE to CF adapter and a Power Supply. Last piece I needed was a 1200 board , and I found one. Got all my parts and pieces installed my OS and assembled it all.  I was so excited until I turned it on and got nothing more than a ugly dark green screen. :(  So close and yet so far away! My Amiga dream appears dead.

Ok so this is a dark green screen really dark

Roms appear to be in correctly
With nothing connected to it, just power and video it is dark green.
I have no history on the board, but I have never seen the insert disk screen.

I will recheck the board when I get home and take a picture of it along wiht the screen output.


Thanks to everyone who responded. I have been a little down about the whole thing, because as you all know getting all the parts together has been very time consuming and expensive. I'd like to have something to show for mt time and money, and although I uses Amiga Forever and Emulate 3.1 and 4.1 on my PC its not the same as having a real working Amiga.
