My concern is the motherboard traces to the floppy power socket, can they handle the extra amperage to drive the cd drive and the floppy?

Had an issue myself recently with exporting an accelerator card and UK wanted to charge a real hefty tax. All worked out in the end. Importing and Exporting has just become a real hassle, more so then it has to be.

I wouldn't recommend using HD Floppies as DD: http://macfaq.org/hardware/media.shtml#Q2.3.3

Did you configure the flashdrive in your PC using WinUAE or in your Amiga?

You may just have to bite the bullet. Stay away from cheap ones especially cheap ones sold on Ebay. Their quality can be quite lacking to say the least.

I've had the best luck with Kingston and SanDisk. But the card reader also plays a major role as well.

Is there a clock battery on the clock ram and whats the state?

For the monitor voltage, wouldn't it be easier to use a step-up transformer to match the voltage the monitor needs? Regarding the LCD on the A1200, adapters do exist for Amiga to VGA< however your LCD will need to be able to handle the Amiga's 15kHz frequency. Or you'll need to get a scandoubler.

When it comes to hard drives though, I tend to have the opinion that when bad sectors start showing up, it may be prudent to replace the drive with a new one.

Threads like this always depress me, nothing or nobody I can find that specializes in Retro Amiga hardware near WA. The closest thing I can find is RE-PC, but they are doing less and less vintage hardware these days. :dry:

I'm running Kingston 16gb card, I tested it both with SFS and PFS, both work like a champ. I should note that I initially had issues with one card reader when building a card. How I build my Compact Flash Cards is I mount them into WinUAE and setup the image in there, setup RDB and partition...

I use Aweb on myself, and it is very limited and crash prone (to me at least) when trying to handle more modern websites. For my Macintosh Quadra 950 I use iCab, works far better then Aweb for modern websites but not without slowness and "glitchyness".

Glad to hear that. Now that you have recovered the data, I recommend disposal of the drive as I wouldn't trust a drive that's been through the washer, especially the drive that you've opened.

I'm looking for an IDE-Fix Express Buffered IDE device. I'd also prefer to have the licensed software as well. It'd also be handy to have a y splitter for the floppy drive power connector to molex. Thanks!
