Wickid I will have to try that out, didn`t know the MacBook could do that - still wanna get rid of it though.  Anyone wanna trade a 2ghz MacBook for a some decent Amiga hardware?

By the way bought this - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEBTOX:IT&item=120191632739&_trksid=p3984.cTODAY.m238.lVI

was it is a good price?

It doesn't say it comes with an accelerator card or any memory expansion.  You'll have to get an accelerator card for it for the A1200 to be much good.  I don't know about the price at all since I haven't bought an A1200 since my first in 1993.  You'll probably be better off with AmigaForever on your MacBook for most purposes.

If you want to play games on your A1200 look for a 68030-based accelerator since those seem to be the most compatible with WHDLoad and so on.  Try to find a PAL-capable monitor since you won't be able to use the composite outputs in color on an NTSC monitor due to differences in the colorburst signal on the chromanence cable.

I should mention.....
There used to be an active user's group in Tokyo...
I've heard it was becoming active again since Dennis' MiniMeg project.
There is also a small user's group in Kyoto (or there was).  I know a couple of the members.

Thanks for that, I might try to contact them - been having fun looking for parts for the A1200, didn`t realise how hard it is to find ram expansion though.  I was thinking of getting OS 3.9 but I guess you would need at least a 030 with Ram for that to work properly ....

Also just saw this CF Micro Drive 4 gb, does anyone know if these drives work, also if they are better to use than CF Flash drives?
