HUH!!!

Wasting a good pair of dykes on a old Amiga 1200. It brought tears to my eyes. Next time use a circular saw, they will chew up anything. Nice mod though.

When I did my A1200, I just overlooked the brick completely, I used the cheapest thing I could find, which was an old PC power supply that I had laying around, I mounter it into an old gateway server and then made sheet metal mods to the server case so that I could fit my A1200 into it. It worked out pretty well. One of these days I will get off my lazy butt and send in some pics, but I don't want to make you all cry.
Right now I am trying to figure out how to hook up a graphics card to the Amiga, I purchased one of those VGA converters, then I have to figure out how to mount it and put it in the case.

Well nice job on your unit, but wasting a pair of good dykes, don't know if it was worth it.
I have no idea what your talking about, so here is a doggy with a small pancake on his head.

MorphOS is a MAC done a little better

Whoa!!

You are trying to pull to many amps through the traces on your Amiga 1200, I would suggest getting a PC power supply and hooking up some of those power user additions to the extra plugs on a PC power supply. All my disk drives, CD drives and additional parts that require power go to the extra plugs on my PC power supply, this takes a lot of strain off the Amiga traces.

Sorry to hear that you broke a good set of dykes.
