Afternoon all

Hey there, great forums. I stumbled across this site in a bid to learn and remember how to use the Amiga. Originally had a A500 Cartoon Classics, then switched to a A1200HD Desktop Dynamite. Switched the A1200HD to a Power Computing Power Tower then lost the whole thing!

A few years have past (six) and now I'm back. Right now trying out WinUAE on my Windows systems. Got my eye on a smart A1200 on ebay, so will hopefully buy that soon.

Just expect to see me asking lots of questions, some very obvious to some!

Thanks for the welcome all.

I won a nice A1200 on eBay last night. Comes with 1.35GB HD and 3.1 roms. Including postage, it came to £40 or so.

I think I'll give up with the emulations once I have this machine up and running.

BEST FIND EVER!!

I thought I had lost my Power Tower'd A1200HD as mentioned above... well guess what?! I've found it in the loft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a little dusty, so I'll give it a quick clean and take some pictures. After a quick look at the Miggy, there are some bits and pieces on it which I have no clue about (forgotten what they are), so maybe you guys can fill in the blanks once I put the pictures up?

/me very happy!

PS. I hope it still works.

Okay, I've worked out what most of the things are as I've been taking pictures of it. No.5 is a IDEFix'97 board I think. And No.6 goes to a kind of serial port which is at the back of the tower (but what is it?), however, I can't see where it goes on the motherboard.

The tower is looking a tad sorry for itself. I need to get a PSU in there and fire it up. I'll try the accelerator in my spare A1200 after work.
