Greetings to everyone from North Central Texas!
I have recently excavated my old A1200 out of its hiding place in the back of a closet, and scared the daylights out of it by transplanting it into a Power Tower with the ZIV Expansion, a Catweasel ZII S-Class card, and a Blizzard 1260; all of which I purchased second hand from a friend who used run a local Amiga BBS.  I had forgotten just how much I loved that 'ole A1200, and now it runs better than ever.  Anyhow, I look forward to gleaning back some of my lost Amiga knowledge here, and look forward to some good Amiga conversations.  The Amiga was my first true computer passion, and I'm glad to see it live again.

Thanks!
May your favorite beverage be cold and satisfying

Thanks!  
Actually I *do* have another A1200, but it is at best mostly dead.  It's going to be fun to see just how far I can juice up this one though.  I must admit, I'm a little surprised just how much is still out there for a platform that has had such a rocky road.  That Amiga, she's a tough old gal!

Thanks all!

@ Acill: A Mediator is definitely on my list of things to add.  I've got to let the piggy bank recover a little first though.

@ Argus: Yep, a PPC card would be most excellent!

Hi!
Yep, it's NTSC.  If they are really that rare, I must have been fortunate.. I've had 3 of them Sadly, this is the last one still alive, but it's going strong.  I also have an elderly A500 that works when it feels like it, which is not terribly often.

Oh, I hope you didn't chuck the old 1200s. Sometime a close inspection with a magnifying glass reveals a broken trace on the 1200 mainboard (these are repairable even at home if you are patient). A tired old Amiga is also like any older athlete (a good rub down with isopropyl can do wonders to clean contacts and invigorate her).

Nope, I didn't get rid of them.  I figured if nothing eles I can harvest them for spare parts.  Thanks for the tip on the traces though, I hadn't thought of that.
