Access A1200 - Cool!

[olegil]

I'm not lempkee, but I have one :-)

I never had a bigbox Amiga, so don't have a proper keyboard for it. But I'm at work now, and have just finished making an A500 to Access keyboard converter, so I'm in business.

It's a nice little toy, but the expansion possibilities are a bit non-existant. I'll be looking into getting the ISA port operational, I would love to network this baby :-)

Mine is currently running 3.9, but it will be running my spare 3.5 license when I get home (the only way I could get it operational without a CDROM and CD drivers was of course to copy the data across using the A1, and that means easier with preinstalled 3.9 than with 3.5 on a CD :-) )

300 Euro? I paid 180 Euro for mine. This is a really cool toy for those who still like to play with AGA Amigas, how on earth would a Pegasos be more fun than an AmigaOne with an Access in the top 5 1/4" bay? ;-)

Well, I bought it WAY back, but I only picked it up at my local delivery point inside the EU (I can bring quite a lot of things through customs duty-free, so I use the option of carrying it myself :-) ) at the OS on Tour event in Gothenburg. And the past 2 weeks I've been on vacation, so I haven't made a posting in ages.

If anyone knows about any work done to bring the ISA interface online, contact me (or answer here).

A hardware MP3 chip would also be a good idea for this one. Hardware mpeg video (1,2,4) would also be cool, but is probably not doable :-)

Latest update:
I just shoe-horned it into the AmigaOne tower :-)

I seriously need to do some cutting at the back so I can have cables running out of it, but open side-door will have to do for now :-)

Don't have a camera, so will take some time to get the pictures.

Heh, mine is out of the AmigaOne again, but at least it gets used every day now :-)

It got too hot in the tower with both machines in there. Will be a bit better now the temperature has gone down...
But I was thinking of building the Access into the computer desk itself. At the very least I'll add another shelf to the desk so I can have all the non-towered machines there. Or just invest in a larger place to live...
