WTB: Amiga 1200 power supply and Midi interface.
« on: January 29, 2011, 06:22:35 PM »
Hey folks,

Does anyone in the US have a power supply for an A1200 that they would like to sell me?. An A500 one would work as well (even better).

I'm also looking for a Midi interface.

Both of these seem kind of rare even on ebay. Most of the time you have to buy a bundle of stuff you don't need to get them!

How are you with soldering?

You can make your own midi interface fairly cheaply. It's just a few opto isolators and DIN sockets; there were schematics on Aminet for years.

My soldering skills are mostly non-existent!. I struggle to re-solder the wiring in my guitar!

In that case, I wish you luck. I have two such interfaces, but I happen to need them.

Seriously, they aren't difficult to make. It's just level conversion and isolation; no data manipulation to perform or anything like that which would otherwise bring microcontrollers into it.

It looks like TheGoose has a Midi interface for me!. It turns out that it's one I gave him years ago that he's not using.

Still looking for a PS though.........

I've got another couple of A1200s arriving this week (hopefully) so once I've checked them out (I'm only after the mother boards & keyboards) I should have a spare one you could have for free if your willing to pay the P&P... :)

Sure that sounds great Franko!. I think I actually have a UK-to US power converter here somewhere. Any idea what the shipping might cost?

Not sure, but it shouldn't be too hard to find out. I'll PM you when they arrive and I've checked them out, according to the delivery thingy on ebay one should be arriving on Tuesday and the other on Wednesday... :)

(I've just bought another one about 20 minutes ago, seemed a bargain at £59... :))

Ive actually got a homebrew midi interface from 15 or so years ago when I bought a second hand a500 system from a guy who lived in a town that while a few hours away from me happened to be somewhere I often visited. Also had what I assume must be pretty rare in a 4 meg trapdoor expansion (unfortunately died while in storage for years) and a few other not common items. Was a good buy in it's day as for the price I was just expecting a pretty stock amiga 500 + extra floppy drive system. Anyway, all that aside a month or so later I learned I'd bought it off a friends boss, who I later jammed with a few times :)

Ironically (in regards to the post) I still have the power supply and midi interface :)

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

@ SpiHunter

Maybe this would be a better option for you PSU $30 including delivery...

http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=56261

Just took delivery of one of the A1200s I bought on ebay a few days ago, boy was it manky but it's fully working and had an 80MB HD, 4MB Fast Ram expansion & an EyeTech 4 Way buffered IDE interface which the seller didn't mention, first bargain I've got on ebay only £56... :)

Hopefully I should receive the other two in the next couple of days and once I've checked them out I'll send you a PSU if you still need one, but the postage may be quite expensive shipping all the way from Scotland, that's why I thought the above link may be a better option for you... :)

(finally found a use for an old MC68882 chip I had lying around it fits on the ram board... :))

Thanks for the heads up Franko!

I sent a PM to see if shipping to the US was possible.
