Hi guys,
this is my first post in this forum. I've been Amiga user from 1996-2001 and have been away from the scene last years.
Now i got a new Escom A1200 and a CD32 in a box, still was in a plastic wrapper, when received it recently

Have a variety of hardware for A1200 and need some help getting it all together.
First, received today last Delfina soundcard for A1200 clockport. Havent figured out a way how to fasten it yet, any suggestions? Machine will stay in desktop case, not tower.
What file system to use with FastATA MK3 + 100G 2.5" harddisk, what would be the optimal partition sizes for the drive?
And this time last question, Can i have a 128mb SIMM on Blizzard1260? And what kind of SIMM should i get for it, single sided or (this is Phase5 made Blizzard)?
Thanks.

Welcome! perhaps you can fasten the delfina with tape that has glue on both sides?
as for the filesystem and fastata, just use the default OS3.9 one... no probs here, and you can have whatever partition size you want, there are no limitation or speed gains!
personally I have: 1.5GB system , 10GB work and the rest on a "storage" partition.
and yes you can have 128MB simm on a 1260, effy has some for sale that work!
I got one from him too, just look at the marketplace forum... or perhaps amigakit.com... whatever suits you!
