Drop me a PM. I can send an 8362 Denise out your way

Right, my 1k is one of the first ones, original owner of it since it was bought in 1985 (well, it was my parents then, but you get the idea). It does have the 8362R5 Denise. Upgrading it to a full ECS machine is beyond my capabilities since the chips aren't a socket for socket match. At least I now know I can replace it easily with an R6 or R8 for full OCS functionality.
 
Also, I should mention the sound sync problems on my 1200 I do not have on my 1k. As expected, it runs perfectly. I was hoping to go down to using just one, but I'll use both if I need to. I had a thought that perhaps the accelerator in my 1200 (DKB Cobra 030/33 32MB w/FPU) was screwing up the sound sync, so I suppose I could go through the trouble of ripping it out and seeing what happens.
 
Darrin: While I think the Minimig is a great concept, it's just not the same to me unless it's original hardware. Maybe I'm strange, who knows? But thanks for the suggestion!
