I corrected that (sense of humour).

Oh, BTW, would you like to marry me?

Well, can you show me a recent picture of you first,
before I answer that question?

Oh sh**, I forgot, there's a camera in front of my face :-P

I'm probably over tired at 1:35AM in the UK, but for some reason clicking on that link and seeing that photo has cracked me up  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I wonder what Mel will make of her arrival thread when she checks in tomorrow  :-)


I'm outta here  :eek:

I can see it now. I'll get done for some sort of "harassment by proxy" crime for having foolishly introduced her here.

Ill have to dig out that 1200. I havent even turned it on in nearly two years.

I heard that some systems can have problems with battery leaks. I dont remember the 1200 having a battery, or does it?

2000, 3000, and 4000 have batteries. Though some later 4000s have the disc-style so they're okay I am told the 3000 battery also hold information about the SCSI configuration so removing it MAY hurt things.

Hi, mel_zoom

Hi!

Just passing by but logged in to say I tested the A1200 last night. It wouldn't boot at first - just a dark grey screen :-(

I took the blizzard card out and then put it back and.... it still works :-)

Its running Workbench 3.1 and looking a little dated compared to some of the screenshots in the gallery. It might be fun to spruce it up a bit but the hard drive is only 200MB and its got only 8MB of extra RAM.

[AJCopland]

I think the Blizzard 1230 can take much more than that 8mb and SIMMs aren't too expensive, which version of the 1230 do you have?
Old 2.5" laptop harddrives are cheap, I picked up a 4GB one on eBay for £3 last year and it's given my miggy a new life Especially if you get WHDLoad.

Apparently you can add most of the OS3.9 features using the BoingBag updates. Someone else will have to comfirm that though. www.amigakit.com do ROMs for about £18 but i can't see OS 3.9 at the moment.

Edit: corrected links.

Edit2: no really corrected links this time :-D

@ Amidude

Someone else doesn't agree with you.
Look at the girl eyeing up his backside when he is taking the picture.

Give up the ale?
No one is that fit, calm down lad.
(although they can sometimes look it when you have drunk enough) :-D

Yeah, you're probably going to want to try to add ram...32 meg?...I still use Image FX a lot to do image editing and effects...it's just easier in lots of ways then GIMP or Photoshop.  It does like  more ram though.

3.1 is limited to a 4 gig partition size.  I'd buy the 3.9 CD first though.  If you're running 3.1 you already have the 3.1 rom which is as far as roms go.

You might also consider using the fantastic Amiga Forever emulation package on a spare PC (Windows or (I think Linux)).
That lets you use the ram in the PC to emulate Amigas with lots of ram.

Hi!

Thanks for that. Im probably not going to spend too much time messing about with it just yet but it is nice to know it still works. When I have more time perhaps I can look at it but there is such a lot still to sort out after moving!

Is this emulator available for OSX/intel?

Why don't you ask Karlos?  You are "colleagues" after all. :roll:
