The Amiga 1200 is a toy!

that is ten times better than any dodgy big box amiga. :-)

You can usually buy an Amiga 2000HD on eBay for less then $100.00. I just bought one for $14.99 plus shipping. It has Kickstart 2.04 and the ECS Chip

I gave a kickstart two a1500 away with a monitor there big and only an amiga 500 with zorro slots .Stick to getting an a1200 there cheap and much more powerfull than the old breeze block. :-)

Escoms do have probs with the floppy (which can be fixed),

my escom machine is ok with disks but internal tv modulator has issues . :-)

Now you know that you want an Amiga 4000 Tower. You would trade that Amiga 1200 for one in a heartbeat!  

like **** i would i have an a4000 tower it does not work, and i have an a4000 desktop that is intermitent, and 2 of my a1200,s have ppc acelerators and one is going to be fitted with a mediator pci board. My a1200 is worth 5 times more than both my a4000,s ,any way the a4000 tower is on the verge of getting modified and having the ppc amiga 1200 with the mediator pci fitted ,. :-)

I was very, very, very glad to get rid of my 1200 tower and replace it with a 4000. A system that has been as solid as a rock since.

My main ppc a1200 was put together in 1996-7 and has been running fine ever since apart from a dodgy ide lead wich helped to burn the copper track on the ide interface. now repaired and working fine again .
