FS/FT A1200 System (read for details)
« on: December 12, 2008, 09:18:10 PM »
Okay guys, here's something else that needs to go.

Up for grabs is an Amiga 1200 system, with a catch (that makes it cheap).



The system is in full working condition except for the IDE controller. Yeah, it's my old system which I thought completely -thrashed-. but now that I inspected it thoroughly, the unit seems to work fine except on the IDE controller part.

What this means is that you cannot plug a hard drive to this system, at least not an internal IDE one (you can still use a PCMCIA Squirrell SCSI controller, if you are so inclined to do so).

What can you do with this machine then?

- All software works. Tested stuff from floppy disk, no problems at all. No graphic corruption, no audio problems, no input/output device issues (meaning, the Custom Chipset is A-OK)

- You can still use the PCMCIA port, so you can still boot off a CompactFlash (and others, I use SD) card connected to a PCMCIA port adapter and have a load of storage.


The machine is NTSC so best suited for US buyers, and comes with the stock 2MB of Chip RAM, no expansions at all.

Catch # 2: I am out of power supplies, so I don't have any more for this machine. Getting one on eBay shouldn't be a problem though. I have more 110V supplies in Buenos Aires too but that would take some time to get to you and some unnecessary extra money.

I am hearing offers that make sense, could also trade for something interesting (and not big in size, i won't have space to take it back to Buenos Aires otherwise.)
