I'm really liking the 1200, but i'm not sure if it's compatable with the Amiga 500 (OCS) games {i've done a bit of research}
Get a 1200 by far.
It is easy to fit a hard drive (IDE), its easy to transfer files and set up networking (PCMCIA), it has 2 megs of chip RAM already, and it has AGA. Also much much easier to find expansions for it.
1) Compatability! If i get an Amiga with AGA or ECS would it be compatable with an amiga 500 OCS game?
Most games work fine. THere's a select few that won't play nice, but there's way around that.
3) Floppies : my house is full of the PC format 1.44MB HD Floppies... will these still work {Even if 880KB are available}... * not as knowleged on the hardware aspect of floppies*
THey'll work fine, though they'll only format to 880. People say they are less reliable but I've never had a problem.
The 1200 with an 030 or similar processor expansion is a wonderful machine.
