Amiga 1200 in an Amiga500 case

[vortexau]

Actually, a more useful case swap for an A1200 (or even an A500, for that matter) would be to install the motherboard + psu + fd + HD inside a C128D Case!
The whole rear connector-strip area would have to be cut open, and either
(a) an A500 PSU stripped down and installed, or
(b) a slim-line AT PSU installed.
Possibly an A2000 Keyboard could be used.

Look up the C128D on a Site.

The C128 motherboard was fitted to the standard C128, and to the C128D which is a semi-transportable with a separate keyboard!
The C128 is remarkedably similar to the A500 in design!
The C128D resembles the A1000 in appearance, only wider!

Dead C128Ds do exist! Mine has a knackered 1571 drive ..... last time I used it I had to resort to the good old 20+ y.o. Datasette.
It is a fact that I have no C128-mode applications on casette tape!!

Its worth looking out for a Dead C128D ..... the case is really well designed. The original model has a pop-out carry handle and a recess to stash the keyboard into. All you need then, for here-to-there, is a monitor, cables, and AC.

In Australia the C128D originally sold for $980AU (1985-6).

The US version C128DCR lacked the transportability-features. C128D models feature THREE CPUs: CSG 8502, Z-80, and 6502. That last one is for the 1751 drive!
