Custom Amiga Tower System Infinitiv 1200



This tower unit has been custom painted in matt black and has an A1200 motherboard installed it is either the 1D4 or the 2B version. The roms installed are 3.1 type. There is also a 40Gig Hard drive Maxtor Diamond plus Installed slim version mega quiet and fast. Ultra ATA type, it is running OS3.1 and has 2gig of the 40gig configured. The other amount can be configured later. Also there is a 52x CDRW drive installed and a 3.5" Floppy disk drive. It also has an 200 watt PSU and the power LED has been changed to an ultra blue to give the unit a more sleek look. the reset button works but is missing a small plastic cover might find it if I do I will include it. (No promises tho!) There is also a brand new black keyboard boxes PS2 type to suit this tower system and a brand new Black original after market Amiga ball mouse with the name Amiga printed onto it. The unit also comes with OS3.1 and the original manual. The tower is missing some small plastic covers at the back and one from the front. This is nothing and can be sorted out quite easierly. The unit has an accelerator card installed. The card is an FPU type with RTC and 8MB fast ram, 2MB chip ram, total 10MB. So this system will now accept OS3.5 and 3.9. It will also run WHDLoad easy. Can install OS3.5 if buyer ask me at end of sale. This system can accept accelerators such as blizzard 030 to PPC 040 and 060.

Please be advise this tower system does NOT come with a PCMCIA angled adaptor! Ignore pictured item!



International bidders welcome.

Any question please ask.

Sold as seen.

This tower system is not fully completed and requires more configuring to make it that bit more personal. It is at present fully operational and very usable.
It boots into OS3.1 and is running IDE FIX 97 software. The remaining 38gig remains unconfigured, this can be configured later using further software. The unit is running on an MC68EC020 CPU and is a 32 Bit system with AGA, 2MB Chip Ram and 16.8 million colours pallet. It now has an accelerator card with 8MB fast ram and RTC= Real Time Clock. The card can also have an FPU= Floating Point Unit and crystal added at a later date to further increase the speed of this system. FPU's are available from Amigakit.

If it has no zorro slot you can add usb 1 no high speed mode over the clockport using the subway usb.

I did not read the complete post, there exist pci solutions as well, but as far as I know it has no decent usb stack so stay away from it.

If you need more specific info you can open a seprete thread how to install it, it needs some points to install it, but it is not that difficult.

There are lots of members who can help you here:thumbsup:
 
@ sian

:wooha: Whoh! some serious font action going on there....:lol:

For USB, you need a device called a Subway. This connects to the clock port on an A1200 (those pins you saw, that you didn't know what they did? These are the clock port).

Once plugged in and the USB driver stack installed, you should have USB on your Miggy.
 
some pasting from the other bay methinks merlin :) saw that one there..good luck with this one sian
 
OMG Now I know I`m getting to be a old froggy and I need glasses but, but , but whats with the large font man hehehehehhe

slow down, we not going anywhere, I take it the tower has`t arrived yet when it dose make a list of what you have, things like the memory card being a memory card not really an accelerator in the truest sense of the word.

Its good that u got upgrade plans and I`m sure theres more than enough info & ppl to help you along the way.

Now the Advert
AmigaKit

I`m sure they will be buy at some point ;)

ribbits and get a camera oh you got one ;) yay
