Crazy Idea to get a A1200?

[darkage]

Not that crazy, Im looking to buy one myself. The cost isnt too bad, though the Indivision will add quite a bit to it.

Very true when thinking back to the original cost in 1992.   Correct me if Im wrong, I vaguely remember how much my friend payed for one when it was first released.   I can remember him saving up for sometime though.    Anyone know what price it was originally sold for?  I keep on think just above $1200 or $1400 for some reason.

I know my Ami500 costed my parents $1000 in 1998 Im sure.  actually I should have the original receipt someone in the filing cabinet.  somewhere

Nah man, I don't think getting an A1200 is crazy!

Given cost/availability of A1200s & upgrades, it is certainly in the better value for money category too Plus, with an A1200 you get options only available on a few other machines, such as AGA graphics, PCMCIA slot, IDE controller, etc.

As for NTSC CD32s from China, I've modified mine by fitting a PAL/NTSC switch & it was a very easy job. BUT, expansions for the CD32 are quite hard to come by & always VERY expensive, so if I were you, I'd go for the A1200 first.

thats true A1200 is best bang for buck for options, and has more kick value for reliving those funky years.

As for the NTSC CD32, I only dabbled in the thought since I regularly travel to China via Hong Kong.  I msg'ed that ebay seller asking for shipping within China.. haha they just replied we only ship to AUD.? strange....
