hey guys,
my first post here...
it is quite a simple/standard machine:

- indivision for vga output
- cf card ide adaptor
- apollo 1240/40 mhz 32mb ram
- desoldered rf-modulator for nice mounted vga port

i built this thing mainly for watching demos...
perhaps you can name someone i can trust, who can upgrade the apollo 1240 to a 060 for a reasonable price ? would be great

Hi nice job on the IndyAGA!

IIRC Dimlow on here did a few Apollo 040 to 060 jobs recently.
Also, PG (PerGunnar) a member at amiga.org, upgraded my BPPC 040 to 060. He does Apollos too.

Welcome aboard, sir.

A 040 is not an ordinary Amiga, in my point of view. But if you want a 060 really bad, ask Dimlow.

BTW: excellent looking hack on the Indy! :great

Really nice setup! I might also get a Indivision AGA in the future, as everyone has one :lol

After seeing your Apollo 040... I want to repair so badly mine now... Damned rare F74s! :sad

Gonna try to update it to a 060 myself after I repair it :D

Looks good. nice and clean. hehe.

one day I shall have to post what my 1200 currently looks like, it is a bit of a err "mess" since it has too many goodies in it to actually let me shut the case, and I can't afford a tower, for it :(.

I also got PG to change my ppc 040 to an 060, he even changed the heatsync and added a better fan, as well as fixing something that was BROKEN on it. :O.

I Really recommend him. :)
