Todd's CF equipped A1200

Howdy folks!

I still haven't decided if I want to remove the RF shield from my A1200, but thought I would show some pics of it after adding a 4 gig Sandisk Ultra II CF card tonight.

Notice the high tech monitor stand in place.

I used double sided tape to attach a piece of plastic to the bottom of the CF adaptor as to prevent it from shorting out. Then I attached velcro to hold it down to the RF shield. That way its easy to take out if needed. As you can see, I did the HD led mod. Can't possibly go without that.

My a1200 is an NTSC unit with a Dataflyer 1200 scsi module and a Microbotics 1200z fastram/fpu unit in the trapdoor. Need to pick up an accelerator some time.

According to Sysinfo, the CF card gets about 2.2 megabytes/sec transfer. Not too shabby.

welcome to the CF HD club

It still feels weird and awesome at the same time hearing absolutely no noise from the DH0

Very nice

My RF shield is getting in the way, think I might have to lose it. Any ideas on how to secure the CF card and gubbins without a shield to stick it on

Yup, worked a treat.

Though I did have to solder to the other side of the LED to get it to function.

My 1084s is also a D-2 model. Little yellowing on the backside, but the front is clean and it has an excellent picture on it considering its 16 years old. . Though I do see a scandoubler/flicker fixer and VGA monitor in my future.

other good solution whit no flicker and quality screen is LCD TV monitor via rgb scart.
