Hi all,

Just joined up after being bitten by the Amiga bug again after a number of years without one.

I had a 1200 BITD, and towered it up before the kits to do so were available, meaning IDE splitter build on verboard, keyboard hack soldering direct to the chips and using an A1000 keyboard, PC erver case, fitted with Quad speed(!) CDROM drive and 340Mb HDD, Microbotics 1230XA with 8Mb (or maybe it was 16?). Sadly I got rid of it a number of years ago and have regretted it since - especially when I see the prices they go for now

Recently acquired another 1200 with a 80Gb HDD and have been playing with formatting it to FFS, PFS etc on the Amiga and in WinUAE.

Bought an ACA1221ec (which sadly is currently sent back for tests as it doesn't run at 28MHz) and found it doesn't like updated scsi'devices via loadmodule so I've been playing with Remus as slightly updating the 3.1 ROMs it came fitted with.

Hoping to have many a nostalgia trip with loads of the old games I used to play way back when.

I also collect Arcade machines, hence the handle.

Cheers!
