Thanks for that mate,
I got back into the Retro scene about a year ago and collected a ZX Spectrum 48k with an upgraded Opus Discovery 2 with 800k floppy drives, Spectrum 128K, Sepectrum +2 Grey and Spectrum +3e - Man what memories... Then started with Amiga's, I had no idea what workbench, kickstart etc was. I have done tons of reading and asking questions and built a Amiga A1200 with MBX1200X 8 meg Fast ram, re capped and installed one of your 4G CF cards made from your guide. Worked great. Was hooked and wanted more. So another A1200, re capped, ACA-1232 and AGAmkII, Installed a 16G CF card formatted SFS using johnim's guide, Elbox 4xEIDE99. I now could get all the games and demo's on a CF card. Been working great. But still wanted more, so another A1200, fitted in a A1200 custom black case with 40gig hard drive, 4G CF Card and DVD Rom, AGAMKIIcr, 4xEIDE'99, Blizzard 1230 MK V, 192Meg, SCSI card. Took my first dive into AmigaOS 3.9 with this one. I have also a Sam440EP System with OS4.1 and a Mac Mini G4 running MorphOS 3.2. My next project is the big one and still dont know all the answers but now have all the hardware I have been collecting over the last year. Just modding a Commodore Game tower to fit the next A1200 motherboard with a Blizzard 060@66MHz/PPC@300MHz with a Blizzard Vision Board, Meditator 1200 TX PCI board, FastATA 1200 MK-IV CF/SATA, Radeon 9200 256MB/2x128MB, Sound Blaster 4.1 Digital PCB, Fast Ethernet 10/100Mbps card and a Spider II USB 2.0 card. Will be using AmigaOS 3.9 on this build. Anyway thats my bit of fun.
