Hi, Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to offer some background info.
After getting the retro bug, I did originally post on here asking for an A1200 with CFHD and an accelerator board, but I now just need the accelerator.
What happened was, I mentioned to a mate I was looking for an Amiga, preferably an A1200, and he turned up at my doorstep the next day with 2 of them. One fitted with an 8MB memory upgrade, the other just a base model. Both with a bit of yellowing and only one set of TV leads and a mouse between them.
The one with the memory upgrade I had modified for him years ago and fitted into a tower a CD drive, external floppy and an IDE HD that were then wired to the Miggy from the side of the case. I had also modified the PSU to include the Amiga power connector. Where I ran the IDE cable out the side of the tower and out of the side of the Amiga I put a small IDE board in-between so it could be disconnected for transportation. It was that long ago I can barely remember doing it.
Anyhow, I have since stripped that Amiga and cleaned it, fitted a CFHD and it runs great. I am over the moon with it. I still have to clean the other Miggy up, but hey they were Free
I also need to decide what to do with the left over tower and bits??
So on to the good stuff. I have now been bitten badly with the bug and want to give one of the Miggys a speed boost with a decent accelerator board. Anybody got one they want to sell? I will consider anything 030, 040, 060 if it will go in the trapdoor? As much ram as possible and most importantly, as cheap as possible LOL.
Would also like to replace the screws as between the 2 Miggy's there are loads missing. If anybody has any they are prepared to sell please let us know.
I would prefer to buy from the UK to avoid postage costs, and long waits Also would prefer to pay via standard Paypal please, I am prepared to cover the fees.
Thanks.
