Hello from Cologne

[belial_]

Hi,

I am Christian from Cologne. I am software developer (mainly embedded IoT and cloud stuff). My hobbies are retro programming and retro hardware. I started with the Atari 2600 (details can be found here), moved over to Sega Genesis (did a region free mod and a genesis2amiga adapter) and ended up with the amiga

At the moment, I am trying to implement a very basic demo production (I am not a real scener, more "scene affiliated" ) and to bring my Amiga 1200 in perfect shape (I already changed key caps, case, added a flicker fixer, ide2cf for internal hard disk, a 68030, 128 MB RAM and did a recap )

Looking forward to Amibay

Christian

Yes, took my a while to become familiar with "racing the beam"

Welcome welcome fellow newcomer o7

Welcome aboard!
From the specs you have listed it seems you ended up with a fine Amiga specimen!
An expanded 1200 is probably the most versatile member of the Amiga family

Thank you

here are a few pics how it looks keycaps are black. case is semi transparent blue'ish. and fun fact: because key caps were sold out I had to buy swiss layout

Wauw that is awesome !

I think i ordered the same case but i am not sure
I think it is labeled as “asahi grey” what is your keyboard original layout ? Uk? How does that work with the wrong keys then?

cool, the asahi series is awesome. I just checked, mine is "Shinkai Blue". Regarding keyboard layout: Thats not a problem because it is configured in software. You can switch iin the Workbench to whatever layout you like. Of course, for an american it would be strange to use a german qwertz style but in my case swiss is almost equal to german.
