Greetings from down under
I have the opportunity to purchase a relatively cheap, used A1200HDD from a neibour in Australia, specifically so i can transfer old classic adf's from my PC - moonstone wings of fury and many more!
I understand that some Escom A1200's have a compressed PC floppy drive that does not allow many old Amiga games to boot.
When questioned about this on the phone the owner stated the A1200 had 'floppy fix' installed .
Does anyone know anything about 'floppy fix' and whether it will overcome the floppy incompatibility problems.
I also understand there are incompatibilty problems resulting from a more advanced processer and chip ram. Can someone plase explain this to me in simple terms as i am quite 'technologically challenged' :-?
I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the pro's cons of purchasing the A1200 and any suggestions on how i can overcome the compatibility limitations to play all my old favourites.
P.S. i have a working A500, so i guess once i have transferred adf;s to amiga disk using the A1200 i can play them on the 500 if i have to. But i would really like to be able to play them on the 1200 so i can lose the 500.
thanx heaps for any help/advice :-)
