Plain A1200???
« on: December 10, 2005, 07:10:08 PM »
I found a new A1200(Commodore)3.1Rom NTSC bare-motherboard from Vesalia.  Ofcourse this kit doesn't include anything more than a motherboard.  I was thinking that would it be possible that I only bought a motherboard, a keyboard and a IDE-Fix (to add more IDE slots for CD-Rom & HD).

I own:
a powersupply (A500 and spare PC-PSU)
CD-ROM(PC)
Spare Amiga mouse
10G Seagate 3.5 HD

Sooo... Would it be possible to build a hobby-A1200-Tower from these parts?? Ofcourse I need a case too, but that can be build or moded from PC-Case? (Right :getmad: ???). Is this possible, reasonble? The whole thing would possibly cost 110-120eur. Am I mad, or am I trying to get a A1200 desperately???

I seek the answer!!! :-) :-) :-)

So can't I just use A1200 keyboard and make/mod case for it? Is floppy compulsory? Is it possible to install just AmigaOs into HD and then boot from it?

Vesalia sells A1200 UK keyboard for 9.90(from A1200 case)

Can I attach normal PC CD-Rom drive?

What about installing AmigaOS? Can it be done with UAE and PC?

Hmm that keyboard-mod looks very nice!! :-) Did you grab that circuit from the motherboard?

Ok thanks!!!

What about the AmigaOS, is it possible to pre-install it into HD? (If no floppy-drive)

Aah great!!! That site contains everything! I have to look up those tutorials. Thank you very much!!  :-D

I have to try that WinUAE install some day.  Maybe it works and boots.

What about the NTSC version. I now that I should use PAL(because in EU) but isn't it possible to switch during the boot which stanard to use? Or am I going to face some deep troubles with NTSC?
