The A1200 is a beauty of a machine and will serve you well in making music and anything else. CompactFlash adapter to PCMCIA is now open to you and rather than hunting around for working CF cards, I highly recommend SD to CF Type I Adapter to go with PCMCIA Adapter. http://amzn.eu/aj2vrri
It works surprisingly well for a adapter within an adapter  |
I already bought one of these
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Workb...6/122915801580 as I needed Workbench too. Not sure what's happened to the price - I paid about £20.
You're right re walking away...and coming back... but impatience got the better of me. Anyway, I've just made a space for the machine/monitor in the studio (put the PC away and a new shelf up) and am about to try installing the CF card in the A1200. Actually I'm so pushed for space that the A1200 is advantageous compared to the A500 just because it's smaller. I even considered an A600 but I think the keyboard layout would be a pain.
Wish me luck!
