Thwarted at every turn.

Posted 03 September 2010, 7:36 PM

So, I picked up a second-hand 68030+68882 accelerator for my Amiga 1200 last weekend (look, if you don't know what one of those is, visit Google). Tested it yesterday (I've been away). Worked, but got random errors.

Culprit: Probably the power supply being of insufficient oompf.

I'm getting tired of finding things wrong with this bloody computer.

Upgrades!

My 'Turbo 1220' upgrade was collected from the sorting office, yesterday :)

This consists of a Motorola 68020 CPU + 68882 FPU, both running at 25MHz with a 4MB SIMM.

Amiga 1200, now (mostly) working!

Posted 20 August 2010, 3:17 PM

I'm well on the way now. The replacement keyboard and set of Kickstart 3.1 ROMs arrived yesterday from AmigaKit.com (great products, slightly slow delivery). Fitted and working beautifully.

The floppy drive is dodgy. The eject button is faulty, the latch sensor (or whatever the heck it's called) is faulty and it when I put my only floppy in there (some utils for the Wizard mouse), it worked but it broke the sliding cover in the process.
