Hello Amiga people :-)

I bought my first Amiga (A500) about six months ago. It is used only for games/demos. And now I decided to buy an A1200 because it has AGA, IDE and PCMCIA etc... I should be getting it sometime next week.

I got this 2.5" IDE really cheap and afaik A1200 is limited to 4gb and this new drive is 4,3gb (8905 cyl, 15 heads, 63 sect/track). Does it work without problems or is the only solution to get AmigaOS 3.5/3.9? The machine has 3.1 roms and AmigaOS 3.1. I also have a 4mb ram expansion (can be fitted with a 8mb simm tho, shouldn't be a problem to find one)

Second.. What turboboard do you recommend? I'm planning buying a 060, so maybe a Viper 1260? I don't need any SCSIstuff and I want to keep the original case..

The machine is intended only as a toy (games/demos/some programming/light networking)

My opinion is to wait a few months more and purchase the new AmigaOne. To buy an A1200 these days is not a waste of money, but it is an old machine. AmigaOne will be the BEST!!! Just wait...

Naah.. I have a PC to do all "modern stuff". I just wanted an oold Amiga to play with. :-P

BTW the hard disk works perfectly, thanks everybody  :-)
