...except that whole 128MB RAM on the CPU slot limitation whereas the 1200 can do 256MB!


While my A4000 also has an added system 216MB of RAM from my graphics card.  ;)

I see the mighty Ban Hammer has been deployed on three of the posters here.  I hope this is a temporary "slap on the wrist" thing.

Yeah, it was getting out of hand.

Name calling is one thing, but when it progresses to offering to pay someone a personal visit then it is starting to get Mafia-like!  Imagine waking up with a red&white severed horse's head on the pillow next to you with a note attached stating "Your Amiga will be next!"

My advice is still the same:  get a subway.  Now I have USB on my Amiga, I couldn't live without it.

@darrin

How is the subway plugs into the amiga 1200 ?
the pcmcia port ?
how and where does it plug ?
Thanks,

Rednova


It attaches to the clock port and then you can run the USB ports out to the back of your A1200 via the ribbon cable (that blank removable plastic plate is a good place to put them).

One thing to check is that your A1200 mobo isn't one of the defective revisions with the bad clockport.  IIRC there are 3 variations:

1 version has the pins of the clockport fitted correctly.
1 version has the pins duplicated so you have to snap off half the pins (I have this version)
1 version has the pins on the wrong side and is useless.

I would also add an Indivision AGA and more RAM for your 1230 to Darrins recommendation too.

Perhaps a FastATA Mk3 from Elbox but they are a little pricey, although they are very good.


I have the FastATA from Elbox and the damn thing is a bastard to fit and keep in the ROM sockets, even with cable ties.  It is certainly fast and worth the money (and I also have a FastATA in my A4000), but unless you need blistering speed, I would honestly tell people to stick to a cheap 4-way buffered IDE device.

I will agree that the IndivisionAGA is another "must have".  :)

For your uses, an 030/50 should be ample. Networking and USB would be the biggest things to get.


He can network through the USB if he wishes just like I do by using a cheap PC Ethernet dongle.
