@Lando:
Are you *sure* it was an A1200? The 1Mb version was NEVER released! And did you try running setpatch?
Yeah m8 I'm positive it was a 1200. When I bought it, it was in one of those plastic infinitiv towers along with an Apollo 040 and a Micronik Z-II busboard.
I couldnt get Workbench to display in more than 16 colours and only had 700k or so Chip RAM.
So I stripped everything out of the tower and hooked the bare motherboard up to the TV with a floppy drive connected and it turned out it only had 1MB of chip RAM. Setpatch was in my s-s, but booting from an original 3.1 wb floppy and opening a shell then typing avail said i only had 1048000 or so bytes chip ram (in total). Booting without startup-sequence and then typing avail said the same thing.
I mentioned it to the guy I bought it from, and he said that he had never bothered about it because he always used the machine with a graphics card.
So I either had a very rare ECS, 1MB A1200 or a not-so-rare "normal" 1200 with busted memory chips and gfx. :-D
