Indentifying my old system!

If you only have DF0 and DF1, you only have floppy drives. However, if you boot into Workbench and open a shell (or select Execute Command from the Workbench menu at the top of the screen) you can type "info" which will give you a list of the drives/partitions you have mounted and the capacity of each.

You can also find out the total memory you have by typing "avail" and pressing return, this will tell you ow much Chip and Fast RAM you have. (From the pictures, it looks like you have an 8MB expansion, so you should have a total of 10MB.)

As for the games, you shouldn't really sell them on Ebay if they're pirated. Format the disks and sell them as blanks, if they still work.

I notice upgrade A1200s with HDs tend to fetch over £100 on ebay, is mine decent enough to fetch 3-figures or do these things not go for much now... seems a shame, I must admit it was cool booting the thing up again! Ah, Superfrog, fannying around with deluxe paint, Theme Park - brilliant =o)

Cheers again =o)

I bought my A1200 recently with a hard disk (340MB) and a 50MHz accelerator with 20MB memory for £81 including postage. I don't think you'll get that much for yours unfortunately.

Does the hard disk have a sticker on the other side? That should tell you the make and model of the drive, and probably the capacity. Failing that, try the "avail" command.

It's a 130MB drive (see here.)

It's strange to think that it those days that was a fairly decent capacity. These days I'm downloading files that more than fill that in less than an hour  :crazy:

If you're going to try to sell it, I'd list it as:

*Commodore Amiga 1200
*Extra external disk drive
*Extra 130MB HD ('Seagate Model ST3144A')
(Explaining that this is external, and not in a case - I wouldn't be happy if I bought a computer and found a hard disk hanging out the back in an anti-static bag!)

*Internal HD
(Double-check this first. Just because you have DH1 and DH2 it doesn't mean you have 2 hard disks - it could just be partitioned. There's probably a command that identifies how many devices you have attached to the internal IDE interface.)

*Clock/Battery pack
*Chip Memory: 2MB
*Fast Memory: 1MB via trapdoor slot
*Fast memory can be expanded to 8MB.

I've think I've found your memory expansion here, you might want to confirm if adding more than 4MB will cause problems with the PCMCIA slot (as reddwarfer has indicated.) Google should help there. If it will cause problems, remember to mention it if you advertise it  :-)
