A1200NG Updates

[amigakit]

The A1200 NG CPU Boost Kit is now available.



The A1200 NG CPU Boost increases performance up to 20 percent.

After activating the CPU Boost option in the A1200NG main menu, SysInfo reports around 300 MIPs (increased from around 250 MIPs).

The software increases the CPU clock speed of the A1200NG from 1.5Ghz to 1.7Ghz when the CPU Boost option is enabled. It can be toggled on/off for specific software titles.
 
The kit includes:

* Heat sink
* thermal pads
* 4x Bolts
* Serial key code to activate software

Holy shamoley!

Will this be available for the 600GS too?

My A1200NG has just arrived, love the packaging.
Quickly unpacked and looks like stickers aren’t in the boxes ( will check later when I’ve got more time) and no insulation layer although that isn’t really necessary and can be credited back.
Hopefully get some spare time tomorrow to put into to a newly acquired green ashati case and hope one of my original keyboards will work.
Had email re speed update so all in all this will be a cracking system and it’s not as though I’m disappointed with my A600GS.
Plenty of time to get up and running for ZZAP! Live in a couple of weeks.

Hello

Thanks for the update

The stickers will be wrapped with the PSU.   Please check in the accessories box.

The insulation layer should be in there- email us with picture of what you received.

Thanks

Found the stickers, useful information in case others ask the same.

The build has gone well, system boots and original keyboard works. Regarding the later what is the recommended keyboard layout.

Received my board today and it is up and running in my old Amiga 1200 case! Thanks AmigaKit!

Using it feels just like the old thing, just more flexible and faster. I love the option to just plug in the CF-HD from the old computer onto the new one, that is a very nice feature. I'm currently transfering my contents from the CF onto the Global Work partition on the A1200NG, so that I can have access to my files from the different system configs, including AmiBench of course.

I'm going to publish a review on my blog like with the A600GS in the near future. Have added a few pics, but will reserve most of them for the blog.

Agreed it’s a brilliant system. I’ve been experimenting with the CF function and created a system where the CF card boots as normal, used AGS 2.7 classic AGA and it works! Loading is glitchy but once it gets to the main menu is fine and you can use as you would on a classic A1200. Be good to get some feedback on this. And if you have preserved an old system on CF it should just run.
Not sure if you can “hot” plug and remove a CF card though so as a precaution making sure the card is inserted before the system is booted up.
And as you say having the board in a case with an original keyboard it’s like running an A1200 and without a huge power brick !
