Living room A1200D project

Wow! I'm super impressed with your work! I'd have thought you'd need a larger case for all that before reading through how you've done it.

Given me ideas for one of my spare A1200s now

I wonder if I'd get it passed my wife

Beautiful workbench and icons, mate. What resolution do you use and how much colours ? It's not too slow with just an ACA1230 ??

I'm using Pal Hires Interlaced with a little help from overscan. The ACA-1231 has 80Mhz fast memory, when you route everything to fast ram with fblit, ftext and couple more tricks and with the Maprom feature, workbench operations feel really fast and smooth even at 256 colors which is what I use.

The main drawback for me in the lack of an FPU, I've tried to run some demos and most of them require one. From my experience with the FPU, SCSI and 256mb RAM capabilities the Blizzard MK-IV is still a better choice.

OK, cool to know (fblit, etc.).

And you're using ClassicWB as a base ? I don't recognise the icons... look like OS4 ! :roll:

Here's a video I've recorded of my miggy running ClassicWB3.9.

OS3.9 is higly configurable and expandable. Some icons I got from Glowicons collection others from OS4depot using the latest icon.library.

Also if you got a fast 68k CPU and some fast ram you route everything to fast ram with fblit, MCP, etc.. you can do lots of stuff with workbench (play mp3, load apps, lots of windows open, USB, etc.) and always keep your chipmem above 1200kb. My 128mb ram stick takes all the heat.
