I bought an A1200 on Ebay recently.

However despite having a hard drive the A1200 did not boot directly to this and goes straight to the floppy / hand kickstart screen.

While taking the A1200 apart the cable connecting the keyboard to the 1200 came out and I have been unable to reattach it.

So 2 questions, does anyone know where I can get some workbench disks for the computer?

Secondly, is there a reliable way of getting the darn cable back in?


Not sure why you can't get the keyboard cable back in, did you break the connector on the MB or are you just forgetting to pull up the top sliding part of the connector before inserting the cable... :)

I can see your problem... you'd need to have awfully long arms to try that out... :lol:

(Never knew there was a suburb of Edinburgh called China, must be in the posh bit at Morningside, need to check on Saturday when I'm through in Auld Reekie... :))
