I unboxed, revelled in that new Amiga smell, connected my 15KHz monitor, popped in the OS3.1, connected my A500 60W Power Supply and the only thing that happens is the A1200 power light comes on and you can hear the FDD unit pull the floppy cover back. I also just get a gray screen on the monitor. I'm really bummed out. I don't want to have to send this all the way back to AmigaKit costing more expense and time. I know the A500 PSU works perfect 'cause I was just using it on the A500. There's an AmigaKit sticker on the back that states warranty is void if removed. Any suggestions?
Let me guess, you had been wanting to order a NOS a1200 for a while, you saw that NOS A1200s from Amigakit dried up for a bit which caused you to panic and when you saw that they were available again, you finally decided to get one?
I'm still waiting for mine
it is "Awaiting Despatch" as of last update. I’m hoping that is something like Dispatch.
My last and only A1200 I bought off comp.sys.amiga.marketplace and it smelled like cat and was infested with small tick-like spiders and had cigarette burns. Hopefully this NOS is better...
Anyway, I'm glad I read this thread. There is a lot I forgot about the A1200.
Also, don't forget about setting MaxTransfer(HDtoolBox) to 0x1FE00 for Compact Flash if you are going that route...
