A1200 mainboard - which rev. to use?
« on: September 05, 2006, 04:24:54 PM »
I've got 2 A1200s, one of which I have sold, but now I'm pondering which one is the best to keep.

I have a rev.1D.1 and a rev.1D.4, and the one that I'm keeping will be powered up by a Blizzard PPC card.
I've heard rumours that some mainboard revisions do not quite work together with the BPPC. Is this true or just a bunch of bollocks?

Anyway: which mainboard is best, or is there no important difference?

Well, I'll just see what will happen when I stick my BPPC in the trapdoor. I guess there won't be any trouble, and if anything won't work, I'm sure there are people in here who can help me to get it to work :-D

I'm keeping the 1D.1 and sending the 1D.4 away.
Why? Because the 1D.1 has bigger mainboard :lol:

The only thing I need now is a (bigger) harddrive since my 80MB drive is walking on it's last legs.

And why not? One of the 3 A1200s I bought this year came with 2 harddrives in it, one 2.5" and one 3.5". Of course, the case didn't close too well, and the metal casing inside was mostly gone, but still... :lol:
