Hi all

Just a quick intro.

Been doing amigas since '92 and up until last year that is all I have allowed in my house, computer wise. I have conceided now though and do have a XP based laptop.

Currently my stock consists of my main Amiga 1200, 040 40Mhz, 64 Mb ram, mediator, voodoo5500 with homemade AGA monitor switch and 17" TFT, spider, fast ethernet card (broadband) and 10 mb ethernet card (laptop). Also kids amiga 1200, 040/40 32Mb ram and my amiga 600 laptop, homemade with 12" colour TFT, 030/50 32Mb ram. It is in bits at the moment though due its reincarnation to the mark 2 version.

There you go, thats me and mine.

Hey guys

Sorry, no photos available of the mk1 version of the laptop, I didn't have a digital camera at the time I built it but I will take some pictures of the rebuild.

The original was buililt in to a homemade aluminium and perspex case, very heavy and cumbersome but it worked.

It used a micro atx psu externally to power the whole system, I didn't bother with a battery, the current draw would have been far too large to make it worthwhile. It had a 12" colour screen from a desktop TFT, slimline laptop cd drive and floppy drive, 3Gb hard drive, apollo 030/50 32Mb. Built in stereo speakers, trackball mouse switchable to external amiga mouse. It also had a PCMCIA modem which worked great. I had 3.9 installed on it to. It wasn't fast but it worked well.

The rebuild is going to be inside a breifcase with the PSU built inside too. I also plan to use a touchpad instead of the trackball, but apart from that it will be pretty much the same. I hope to get cracking with it again later this year and I will take some photos this time.

Watch this space.
