My 500+ Project

Try a find the netgear MA401 wireless pcmcia card, only WEP protection which can slightly compromise your network but wireless Amiga 1200 is lots of fun!

Just for lol's I had a look on fleabay for a netgear MA401 and found one straight away - it was $30aud shipped, so I grabbed it!

My ACA1220 and RTC arrived today, just waiting on my 1200 and CF Adapter now.

[djos]

Oh and the postie also brought me this rather nice NOS Boot Drive Selector:



Which works great with my HxC and A1010 External Floppy - sometimes you just need to boot from a real Floppy drive and this makes it very easy - comes with a little toggle switch that i've installed on the rear of my a500.

Lol, naughty boy is more like it, have been going over my monthly "toy allowance" by quite a bit lately. :whack:

Funnily enuf I went for a walk at lunch and just came around the corner as he had left my place so I waved and he pulled over on the street and gave me my parcel after I signed his little PDA thingo. He's never really asked me what all my parcels are tho.

My NOS 1200 arrived today!



I had to clean the cables and remove Petro's Sig from the top of the case but the a1200 is in spectacular condition!

[djos]

Yaaaaay! It works great too!





So I chucked in my ACA1220 and that  works great also:



Im just running some ram tests on it now to see if it's stable (& so far it is).

EDIT, no memory errors so maybe i dont need the timing fixes?

[gertsy]

it looks fantastic Djos. Congrats man.  Couldn't have gone to a better home...

[djos]

Thanks Gertsy! I'll be dead before this beauty leaves my possession!

Awesome Amiga you have there!

Very cool that he signed it...  should have signed the bottom tho

[mohican]

There is any test which indicate that the A1200 mobo' needs any time fixes ?

Yeah I was slightly annoyed he signed the top when I asked him to sign the bottom only and he only signed the top and the Box.

Im not sure, it's seems 100% stable so far but i'll be able to test it more once I get my CF-IDE adapter from Kipper in a few weeks and can run some AGA demo's. The OCS demo's & games I've tried so far have have been flawless.

Btw folks, my 500+ is now officially for sale (SWMBO has decreed I will sell it as promised):

It was my Birthday last week and my awesome wife bought me a couple of retro T-Shirts:

[djos]

and today I got the below IDE-CF Adapter which seems to work very well (it's very fast) but I have one small issue, I dont get a HDD activity light - any ideas?
