I have never tried this on a real Amiga but I can imagine it crawls on my ACA1231/43MHz ^^

Nice initiative so Thank you very much :)

thanks Amikit team! I finally have my Amiga notebook:)




here's the support thread for the Real Amikit thanks to Retrofan http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=67578.  I think some people say it runs fine on their ACA 1231 1200's.


Thanks for the link klx300r :) Ill give it a go just to try it out later :)

Due to this, I dug up my old Thinkpad T41 laptop, specced:
CPU: 1.4GHz
Ram:256MB
HDD: 30GB
Screen 14.1"
GPU: Radeon 7500 32MB

So I went trough my storage and found a 2GHz Pentium M 760 and put in it, added 2GB of ram and took a 32GB MLC PATA SSD and a converter for the opticbay so I put a 160GB PATA drive in the CD/DVD slot.

So upgraded a bit with what I had I am now looking for a fitting 9000 or 128MB FIREGL on ebay and planning on upgrading that also.

Then I used nlite to strip down a Windows XP install as much as possible, got it down to just taking 480MB installed and only using about 55MB ram and after that I removed the Windows XP boot screen.

System boots in a few seconds after post when installed on the PATA SSD and shrinked  so quite nice.

Then I tried AmiKITT and hey its nice, gave it all ram possible and had some fun with it.

Now im planning on doing a silent start to AmiKIT ignoring windows shell and then i'm at land :)

So it's a nice bundle of software you put together, this laptop will be used at work beside my workstation, so thanks :)
Not the fastest machine around but seems to work quite ok for this task and it's good to get some use of it, better then throwing it away :)

I will take time and try this out on my A1200 also, but im quite happy with the snappiness and speed of my current 3.1 setup but it's always fun to try :)
