Have you thought of picking up a good used mobo
for your 1200? Maybe you could find one cheap
somewhere.
I found my 1200 new about a year ago in the
States. I'm very careful with it as it was
made in 96/97. So far though I've had good luck
with computer hardware. My old 64,128 and 500
still work fine....and I used the 128 for
years on end back in the day. I even have a
relic 8086 around somewhere that still works,
even its original hard drive (an old -
school HUGE one) is still operating.
