I tried my best. I was able to push the price up for you but I didn't win. :( Let me know when you refurb another. Maybe an A1200 next? |

There's something wrong with AmigaWorld.net's IM and my messages to you are not going out.
I'm hoping to just commission you to do a machine for me. I would have just paid you what you asked for that A600 honestly. I think you did well with the ebay sale though.
OR.. if you have a busted up A600 that looks good on the outside. I wouldn't mind having a pi version. |

No problem my friend. I am doing an A1200 for a mate for xmas then I am not sure if or when I will do any more. I could get a machine and stuff to your specification and restore it accordingly. As long as costs of machine etc. were covered I could do that.
Also I have some B grade keyboards and cases so i am going to have my 1st retr0brite experience soon too! _________________ Amiga A1200, 3.1 ROMs, Blizzard 1230 MKIV 64MB & FPU, 4GB DoM SSD, Workbench 3.1 |

Every time I see a Blizzard 1230 for sale, I wonder if it was the one I used to have...

| I killed an accelerator tonight (Blizzard 1220) :( feel really crappy about it. It had a few damaged CPU pins which I didn't report the eBay seller because I popped it in my bag, it may have been me en route back home from where I had it delivered. Anyway, removed the CPU ready for a new one, but when cleaning up the solder pads and retinning, one came off - I am good at recapping - QFP100 might be a bit much for my skill and equipment. Hate killing retro hardware. Anyway, I have another 1220 so have removed chips off damaged board and will keep as spares in case any RAM/GALs fail on the good one.
AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Still I have restored more than what's been broken it just is such a pain - the Blizzard 1220/4 is the best combination of value, compatibility and performance you can get for the A1200 IMO. _________________ Amiga A1200, 3.1 ROMs, Blizzard 1230 MKIV 64MB & FPU, 4GB DoM SSD, Workbench 3.1 |

Sad for you, but how do you figure those cards are better than a Blizzard 030? That's what every A1200 wanted to own back in the day. _________________ "Art challenges technology. Technology inspires the art." John Lasseter, Co-Founder of Pixar Animation Studios |

Well it has the value element - much cheaper. Blizzard 030 is best bang for the buck perhaps - but stock Amiga A1200 to Blizzard 1220 is a huge step up. _________________ Amiga A1200, 3.1 ROMs, Blizzard 1230 MKIV 64MB & FPU, 4GB DoM SSD, Workbench 3.1 |

I manage to obtain an Amiga 1200.
My last Amigas in the 1990s was Amiga 3000/030/882 at 25Mhz (with KS 2.x ROM, 4MB fast, 2 MB chip), and Amiga 500 Rev 6A (KS 1.3, 1MB chip). My Amiga 3000 was traded for a classic Pentium 150Mhz PC in 1996.

There was an Amiga 1200 motherboard inside a rack server being sold from eBay Australia which could have good parts for Amiga 1200 case and keyboard parts. I didn't win the bid. Last edited by Hammer on 03-Aug-2020 at 03:44 PM.

And to think I didn't look because I'm in the US. Doesn't it require a different PSU to work over here? |

But you're using a 1230, go figure. |
