I got my scart cable for the A1200 today. After inserting the 4GB CF card and adaptor I now have a fully functional Amiga with a large library of games. It is impressive how quick the games load bearing in mind the age of the machine. Sysinfo reports that the CF card is being read at a whole 2MB per second! When you think back to how long it took to load 700 and odd kilobytes from a floppy disk this feels almost cartridge quick.

So looking forward to playing SWIV, X-out and Rodland again.
