A little upgrade for my A1200 (replaces ACA1232)


ACA1232 goes to my A500 (with ACA500) replacing my old ACA1220

Is that 25pin header a standard pc lpt port?

Is that 25pin header a standard pc lpt port?

It's a SCSI port, not a printer (parallel) port. The size of the connectors is the same though.

Sorry what I mean is the actuall header/fly lead. I thought it was one of those old headers from the socket7 pc board days, then re-purposed for the blizzard scsi, hence having a pci plate. (great way of exposing scsi to the rear of a tower conversion)

I need to check my spares but I think the headers on these were wired in such a way to be completely compatible with scsi stuff.

I did this years and years ago, need to get all my stuff out and have a proper look.

Yep, scanners often used that interface in the old days. Some were parallel, but SCSI was faster. Might cause a bit of confusion and I don't know if it could actually cause damage if you connected a par device to a scsi port or the other way..

I recently bought this from Amigakit but was a bit dissapointed to find the 25pin header is not metal but just all plastic, I guess they had to source whatever they could get at the time:



So I have decided to hunt for some those old pc header flyleads. I actually found some NOS stuff hidden away in storage earlier but I need to take some time and pull them apart to check the wiring is correct! I also bought some metal A1200 scsi mounting brackets from Amigakit. Once done it all should look like it did back in 1995 (I never should have tore it all down)

found this today in a charity shop, it really pays to be nice and get to know the people in them as they now hold games in the back till i come on in, so as soon as i walked in she pulled it out for me:


i also bought every grand theft auto game on ps2 (bar vice city stories) too as they were all in brand new conditions with maps etc - good day so far

Have been keeping my eye out for a nice cover for my miggy and saw this linked somewhere - either on here or perhaps EAB (to an ebay BIN).
Quick service and good cover - its slightly deep but as my miggy is raised thats no problem.
Actually have now ordered another one for my secondary miggy!

sort of my 'holy grail' as far as collecting these Star Wars Miniatures goes...

finally got one with some christmas money.

AT-AT Imperial Walker

this thing is 13 1/2" / 34cm tall - 16" / 41cm long and 6" / 15.5cm wide (at the base)

the 'normal sized' snowtrooper at its feet in the last photo(s) is 1 1/2" / 4cm tall

Now that's pretty cool

I think my first words were, holy c**p, where am I going to put THAT!
Guess I'll be looking at what I can sell tomorrow to make space
