£29? You people are crazy.

Djay · 28 September 2003, 23:58

my yellow A1200 isn't THAT yellow

Mozzy · 29 September 2003, 00:09

were not all lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time for these bargain buys/finds

rattus · 29 September 2003, 01:06

aye, it's not easy finding an amiga for cheap

I was somewhat lucky to find one sitting in the attic of my house

Unfortunately the previous owner caused a bit of a fuss but once I killed him off everything was fine

It's all the extra upgrades and stuff from ebay that really drains your wallet (and trust me, you will become power-hungry after about a week of using a base A1200... you will suddenly want a bigger HD, faster processor, more fastram, a CD-ROM, etc)

Yes, I want an Amiga, but when I had money, I just couldn't find one with a good price here in Brazil.

WHEN you manage to find one, they go for some crazy prices like US$ 100 - 200 (And I am talking about a VANILLA A500).

Now that I am poor as hell, I don't have money even to buy an Atari 2600 cartridge

Unknown_K · 29 September 2003, 09:13

1200's are pricey in the US also, upgrades are too.

Its just not a common system here

Amiga1992 · 29 September 2003, 19:10

It is not easy to score cheap amigas, yep. I got a good deal on an A1200, good deal to me at least. A1200 with 1GB 3.5" ultraslim HD + 030@50 + 32MB of Fast, and a shitload of games, a rocslim external drive, and extra sturdy A500 PSu, for 130 dollars.,

The condition was as frigging new.

Congratulations on your new purchase dude

Mozzy · 07 October 2003, 17:22

it arrived this morning, i now have a hd in it :P

had a wierd problem with it though, all my disks worked except cannon fodder 2 (originals) which was strange, i replaced the disk drive with the one out of my dead 600 and cf2 works fine... does anyone have an explanation for this?

also whats the max os i can ron on a stock 1200 with ks 3.0? is it just 3.0 or can i run 3.1

Good buy. You'll have plenty of fun. For the floppy, there were problems with early AInc (or was it Escom) floppies. Check Aminet as there was a fix document there.

Regarding the OS. You'll be able to run 3.1 on there. But, not 3.5 or 3.9. Check out eBay, there are cheap A1200 3.1 ROMS there all the time.

At least I got my A600 cheaper ($20!). Wish I could say the same about the 1200's.
