Amiga 1200 from Petro
« on: January 28, 2013, 04:44:01 PM »
How are the Amiga 1200s that Petro is selling configured? Do they have a hard drive or even a hard drive controller?  How much memory do they have? Do they have any kind of expansion slot?

AFAIK they are just basic a1200's without hard drive. There is the standard IDE controller, PCMCIA port and trapdoor expansion slot and the standard 2mb memory.

We've never heard back on "capacitors," timing issues, and reliability. Many came dirty with dried styrofoam stuck to things, and I assume they had all powered up. Do we know any more?

Can I add a hard drive to one of these or do I have to upgrade the power supply first? How would I upgrade the memory?

both is possible though the 3.5 requires a different cable and is a tight fit. power supply might not be good enough, but you could be lucky.

About an internal HDD for your A1200: the better choice is Compact Flash/IDE adapter on the IDE internal port of the A1200.
For the memory, you must find an expansion board: AMIGA.ORG - AMIBAY.COM - EvilBAY.

Mine had 0 dead capacitors, and was in very good condition.

The timing issues have randomly affected every revision of A1200 motherboard from day 1.

We recently recapped one of the A1200s as a precaution for a customer and upgraded it its accelerator and Hard Disk after applying the timing fixes.
