Akira's A1200 tower project
Since I have a spare motherboard lying around and a spare ATX case lying around I decided to join them and make a miggy
 Problem is this is a mid-ATX case, so there are space issues. Let me illustrate:    Thanks to DoogUK I have, however, found a RAM expansion card that will work, the Blizzard 1220/4: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showha...gi?HARDID=1702 No 8MB as I wanted but 4MB will be enough for my tasks (pixeling, tracking, IRC+FTP and the odd game or two! I don't even need an accelerator) so I am on the lookout for one of those now. I will also need: - a PS/2 keyboard adapter (recommendations? which are affordable?) - Extender cables for: --- Audio --- Composite video --- Joystick & Mouse ports - PCMCIA L-connector for the ethernet card I have - CD-ROM drive (which speed, folks?) - Yet another CF-IDE adapter but 3.5" - 3.1 ROMs Also modifications necessary for a temporary-type ATX case power button. Anything I am forgetting? Oh yeah, checking if this motherboard works. Last I tried, it didn't :P |

The Blizz 1220/4 4mb add-on looks neat if you can find one (picture nabbed off Ebay some time ago)..

Also there is an external keyboard adaptor @ Amibay right now. Original from Eyetech, IIRC.

Re-cased Amigas, my favourite, yummy!
I quite like the Elbox PC-Key 1200, as it doesn't clip over any chips & it works great. Only problem (however slight) with the PC-Key is that it comes with the old DIN socket, but you can just wire up a Mini-DIN adaptor. PZ. |
