I just bought an A1200!!!!

[Jaruzel]

I've been re-casing my A1200 over thep ast 2 months, bit by bit as time allows.

I decided that a Mediator wasn't worth the money what with the impending A1 boards, and as long as I got a Scan Doubler, I'd be ok in the short term.

So, not wanting a Mediator, meant I could put it into a desktop case, and I had an old Sun Sparc20 case lying around that would do the job.  I can safely say that it HAS done the job and looks absolutley spiffing. :-)

You'll definately need another PSU though, and this is where I had my most major hurdle, because I was using a deskop case, the PSU is outboard, and PC PSUs arn't really that safe un boxed, So I ended up completely stripping down a PC PSU, and reboxing it using the existing Amiga Power cables and switch! It looks OK, but not what I had originally planned.

Good luck with your rebuild, I've really enjoyed mine, I hope you enjoy yours.

I think £15 is a bloody good deal for a working A1200. Anything upto £30 is worth paying, especially if it's got a HDD in it (the bracket and cable, are worth the extra cash alone I think).

I think AOS4 is only PPC based, Legacy 68k cpus are out of luck.

I've been taking pics as I go along, and I hope to get to a point shortly where I can display the whole project,  start to finish.
