Smoked puffed off the vending of the A1200...

I totally remember those little smoking monkeys that you could get from vending machines back in the day.  :lol:

Oh, you mean smoke puffed out the venting of your Amiga? Yeah, that sucks.  :laughing:

It happens. Especially when you try to plug in the hdd in low light.. I did that before once, just ordered a new cable and all was well.

pan1k you are 100% correct. The Amiga 1200 is alive and so is the HD I just discovered it from work. Now I need to make sure by looking at the picture in this forum that I match the way it is installed with mine. I am going to use the original A500 power supply instead of the 300 atx power supply. Because if I made a mistake again, it will simply not turn the amiga on and everything is fine, verses the 300 watt atx power supply will just force it on and cause problems...BUT I DO NOT WANT TO REPEAT THE MISTAKE AGAIN!! I am going to keep looking at that picture in this forum to make sure it is correct. Please guys tell me the red ribbon on the IDE that should be on the pin 1 of the HD and the Amiga 1200 IDE port right? Also, also, is that picture in this forum enough to make sure I do this right ones and for good? Thanks in advance.

Just take your time, and double and triple check before powering on.
