iirc I read somewhere that there was some minor issue with the floppy drives "on post Commodore" A1200's is this true of the 1995 vintage units and do these require "timing fixes" to run Jen's acceleration boards?


Thats correct.

From memory the AI A1200 used a higher capacity PC drive where as the C= A1200's used a regular double density drive.

AI A1200's are revision 2B which from what I can gather nearly always require timing fixes.

So what's the actual issue with the FDD's and is it a simple mod to fix?


I'm not sure but as you'd probably be using WHDload for gaming it shouldn't be an issue. According to the A1200 wiki page ESCOM released a circuit that fixed the issue, I'm not sure if there is another work around.

Are you thinking of getting an A1200 from Petro's next batch? ;-)
