Adapter received, works, in fact I'm typing this from my A1200 connected to a BL702A via the adapter. Since I'm probably the only fool here who has both amigoun's adapter AND a Commodore adapter due to forgetting about having the latter, I can provide a rough comparison, although there isn't...

Oh hey, guess what? I'm an utter moron. Since yesterday my Amiga's accelerator card stopped working properly after I added an FPU to it, I panicked and, among other things, took my Amiga's box out of storage (to get some tools that might help me assess the situation), and guess what I found...

My adapter will be much less fun than anticipated, because in the meanwhile I appear to have managed to break my 1200's accelerator's card. Yay. But that aside, since I do have the Benq BL702A I ordered here, hoping others didn't already mention this (this thread is way too long for humans)...

Thanks, payment sent!

I am interested in one "1/ Adapter (metal coated case and 23pin conn)", normal metal color, pending confirmation of shipping cost to Italy and rough time to delivery if known from other buyers (I am only at this address for a few more weeks). If there is any other possible advantage or...

I am declaring interest next inline, but pending the cost of (tracked) shipping to mainland Italy.

I'm not entirely sure how PayPal works outside of eBay, but on eBay, PayPal only requires a proof of postage from the seller. So I never quite understood why many sellers won't ship at least EU-wide (where no customs declaration is even required). A funnier thing (though this one really is...

Uh, it costs nothing to the receiver, in the EU. To the sender, it depends on the bank... often, online banks charge no fee for wire transfers.

Bitcoin!

I seem to have solved it, by giving the LoadModule line which the BoingBags installer instructed me to add the additional NOMEMFKICK paramters. The LoadModule readme file says it works by magic and I should only use it if I know what I'm doing, but... well... now I have my 1600kB of memory back.

I've installed the unofficial BoingBags and noticed a sharp decrease in chip RAM: whereas I used to have about 1600kB, I now have around 1300. Is this normal? Shouldn't the new graphics.library save chip RAM? Aren't the Kickstart patches installed into fast RAM? Can it be made any better?

How much to ship 3 5-packs to Italy?

Is that the one where it's not even guaranteed that the machine is working? :P

So is this why you sold me your 1200 - too fast and powerful for you? :lol:

It really is weird how an Amiga 1200 (for instance, it's what I've been watching lately) can go for a wide range of prices regardless of the condition on eBay. There is a baseline, though. I usually observe the prices for a while before starting to bid on an item, and you learn to differentiate...
