My A1200 is finished

I wrote up a summary of everything that I have done to this machine:
  • 68030 50MHz
  • internal PSU
  • internal CF cards
  • Indivision AGA
  • floppy drive shuffle
  • Cherry MX keyboard

No ads, affiliate links or anything else, that's just where I posted it.

That is one sleek looking A1200!

I can see you made some improvements to the PSU holder too.

removing the original floppy drive for a PSU was a very gross mod
also destroying the plastic for those unnecessary cf cards cards , stupid and childish unnecessary mod

my rating of this lame A1200: 1/10

Loved reading all the detail and the pictures were great. I am at the beginning of the journey you are on, and you have given me some great ideas. Thanks.

Good work, maybe retrobright the case or paint it? I believe brand new cases are even available in limited supply. Other than that it’s awesome Funtime Amiga work.

If anyone needs STL files for 3D printing I have not published PSU or CF card files anywhere yet, thought I would get around to tidying them a bit. But you can always ask in PM if you are prepared to take them as they are.

Hey nice build. If you ever want to be un-finished then a suggestion would be an internal gotek with the FF-OSD display mod
