As has already been stated by DDNI in this thread- Mediator fits. GREX will fit also.

Screws are provided. You will need an ATX PSU to A1200 power adapter if you are not using a Mediator or GREX.

We stock a wide range of A1200 keyboard adapters to use with the Z4 in our webstore:

@amigakit

What time do you close - I've been given a hellish job in Pontypool I need to attend to now so won't be back until (all being well) 3ish.

Cheers,

M.

Office closes at 5pm- although you can call in tomorrow or Thursday if you want

If I wanted to buy the Z4 tower is there a link I follow on the Amigakit website to add it to my basket as it were...?

Also what is the difference between the LT4 Mediator and the Sx version?

Cheers Peter

There isnt yet- we only have a few Z4 towers left and need to put together some more.

We stock the full range of Mediator PCI busboards for all Amigas including:

The Mediator 1200SX is a 6-slot PCI busboard with AT and ATX power connectors

The Mediator 1200LT4 is a 4-slot PCI busboard with just AT power connector

Both are supplied from us complete with Multimedia CD drivers and the accelerator pass-through adapter.

OK - thanks again, I'll PM you if I decide to go with this idea, Peter

@Amigakit

Hi again...

Unfortunately the IDE thing seems defective - it burnt itself to a crisp (just the cable - no idea why the Amiga seems fine) followed the instructions down to the letter.

I probably need a cable for the hard-drive and DVD ROM and also floppy disk (trying to make sure I'm plugging it into the right place.

If I bought it in on Thursday some time would it be okay to go through it?

Cheers,

M.

P.S. Does anyone have an amiga motherboard diagram?

P.P.S. Are PC floppy cables compatible with the Amiga?

amigakit.com · 07 June 2007, 10:39

Pop it in and we will have a look at it.

PC floppy cables are not Amiga compatible.

I must also take this opportunity to thank amigakit.com.

The guy has everything in his shop and I certainly will be going back there again for more goodies!

Once I left the shop everything was working perfectly the only problem I had was when the old hard drive I was using blew up (not my fault - honest!).

Thanks again mate!

Hi mate

Quick question. If you remember the blue wire which I need to connect to the middle of the power supply. I wondered if there was a proper device that sat internally rather than go out of the case and back in?

Cheers,

M.

You could solder it on the underside of the A1200 motherboard- trace the -12v line.

Macca · 09 June 2007, 20:56

Not a bad idea my mate at work will have his work cut out on Monday..
