Ok..
I just dug my A1200 out of the closet. I have installed a IDE interface in it so I can add a internal CD rom. I ordered the 3.1 roms. I have the OS 3.9 CD now. I currently had WB 2.1 running on it.
Here are my questions:
How compatable is this unit? I want to be able to run my old A500/A1200 games. I heard a lot about OS 3.9 and 4.1, but no one has said anything about compatability. Can I load 3.9 and run my old games? If I out the 3.1 roms in it, will it screw up my compatability with the older software?
Also, there is no talk whatsoever about what to do with the new Amiga OS 4.1 or 3.9 software. I hear great things about 4.1, but what the hell can you do with it after you get it up and running? Are there any developers out there porting software to the new 4.1? Can you get an emulator to run the old Amiga games and software?? What about 3.9? Am I screwing myself by loading it?
If I upgrade to 3.9 with my 1200, will I be able to see a 40GB hdd? Right now, it will only see my 40GB HDD as 8GB.
If I get a scan doubler, what is the max resoution I can run with my 1200? 640x480,800x600??
Is it a good idea to get an accelerator for this unit or just buy a Sam440 or A-Eon X when it comes out?
I really loved my a1200, thats why I have held on to it for so many years. I have been out of touch with the Amiga communuity for a while. Don't flame me too bad. I'm jsut looking for some answers.
Thanks!!!
