classic amiga 1200 into a tower
« on: May 20, 2004, 10:22:58 AM »
Hi!

I'm pretty new to the amiga scene (bought the a1200 about 6 month back)

Before that we haved an amiga 500, but the only thing I did on that was playing games (like the most people do I guess)

Well anyway.. I am thinking about trying to put the a1200 into a tower and I got some question about it that I hope you guys could help me solve...

First of is the problem I will get with the keyboard, is there a nice "converter" that I can look for to be able to use an extern keyboard, or do I have to do one myself??

And then we have the video port, is there a flicker bla bla bla converter that i can use that is extern? (Curious if I wont go throu with the tower building I can still use the amiga on my computer monitor)
And I have read alot about problems playing old games with an vga converter is there a way to bypass that?

Another problem (at least i think so..) is the pcmcia port, If I try to put the a1200 into a tower wont the pcmcia be blocked by the bottom??

Is there anything else I should know, or get, before trying to build a tower?

I have been searching the web for more information and most of the pages that I have found is about upgrading the a1200 alot and I am currently not intrested in that (cause of money problems)


And sorry about my bad english! =)

Thank you for the fast response =)
I will check with GGS-Data in sweden and see if they got anything of the stuff that I need :D

Another question: When I have been reading this forum I have stumbled over message about 020, 030 etc cards, what the heck is that??

I bought the amiga for two main purpose; learn programming asm with it and play old nice games with it =)
And the asm is going pretty well, except that it would go little faster to code if I haved an keyboard that I'm used with (like the pc) and if I could plug the amiga into my monitor and have it on my "working place" and not on my "relaxing place" (the old nice tv room) ;)

Thanks again.
