Nice buy... Not sure the specs on it, but here is my 2 cents... It's a fun system to upgrade/hack around with...
- Find yourself some workbench 3.0 disks
- If it doesn't have one, I'd suggest installing a Hard Drive or Compact Flash drive. I went with a 2GB CF card and a IDE to CF card adapter. It's fast and makes no noise, and being solid state hopefully less prone to failure. Using floppies, unless your big into the nostalgia, is slow, cumbersome, and have a high failure rate.
- Check out WHDLoad... It allows you to quickly run games from your hard drive, even if they were never designed for HD installation. It takes all the hassle out of running most games. Even with the original floppies at my disposal I download and use the WHDLoad versions instead because of the convenience.

- If you can find one and have the money pick up an Indivision AGA board. Just pop this card into your 1200 and you have a standard VGA port that is compatible with all modern monitors.
- At least try to find a memory expansion board for your trap door slot. They are fairly inexpensive. Or better yet pickup a memory expansion and accelerator board. Like the Blizzard 1230 Mk-IV. Gives you additional memory slots and the more powerful 68030 50MHz cpu.
