Hello...
« on: January 16, 2008, 07:34:45 PM »
Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd introduce myself.  My name's Jonathan & I'm from Scotland.

I've currently got an A1200 which I've been upgrading when I can.  I've put a 4Gb hard disk into it & I've just installed Kickstart 3.1 & put WB3.1 onto the hard disk.  I don't have CD drive & I'm not sure if I can fit one along side the 2.5 inch HD (I have a spare PC internal CD burner).

I'm not really intending to do anything serious with it, but I would like to upgrade the memory.  I'd fit an accelerator if I could find one & it's not particularly expensive.

Welcome from Texas.
I have seen a mod where someone put a laptop cd in an A1200.
It is slimmer than a desktop cdRom.

Dear Friend:

Didn't you know the a1200 allows you to install an 'external' cd drive to it?

If you're not really going to do anything serious with it, get a 68030-based accelerator with 32+ megs of RAM.  That is the minimum requirement to play Total Chaos AGA with but still fairly compatible with everything else.

One other thing you might want is to get a 1084S or equivalent monitor so you can display the European PAL scan rates since that's where most Amiga software originates from.

-edit-
Since you said you are from Scotland, a SCART connection to a PAL TV set should do just as nicely as a 1084S monitor.  (I missed the part saying you were from Scotland.)

Welcome to Amiga.org from Milwaukee!

It's a shame Amiga accelerators are so hard to come by/expensive, it really does make using Amiga's much more fun.

68030's are best for game compatibility out of the box, but I wouldn't trade my 1260 in for ANYthing. And besides, WHDLoad takes care of gaming :)

CD-ROM in A1200 case.   <-just click. Chances are whatever you wish to do with your 'miggy has been done before.  ;-)

...but Cthulhu will still eat your soul.  :lol:
