If you want a better experience with whdload, you really need an 030 processor in there.
I have a very clean/white boxed A1200 Rev2B with an M-TEC 030 @ 42Mhz with CoPro too. 8Mb Ram, switchable to 4Mb without needing to pull the thing apart & also M-TEC SCSI Expansion with External SCSI CD Rom. She also has a DCE FF/SD fitted so you can use most modern day display devices & because of this, the internal hard drive is now redundant as the mount will not go over the DCE FF/SD. I had a 1GB IBM Micro-Drive hanging around & that sits in a single CF reader on the end of the 44 way cable. The SCSI CDROM is a big help when accessing the Disc's with no CPU load for it.
It might be more than you want to spend, but please discuss via PM if you in the slightest interested. My RC days are over I'm afraid, so this would be a cash thing only but we might be able to work something out if you want a really clean A1200.
All the Best.
