Building an Amiga 1200 tower, part 2: mounting motherboard and BlizzardPPC

Part 1: Building an Amiga 1200 tower, part 1: mounting motherboard and BlizzardPPC

My Amiga 1200 desktop

I have been quite busy last couple of months so there has been no time for any activity such as messing around with Amiga gear.
So it was with great anticipation I awaited the days between x-mas and New Years Eve because there would be a 99% chance no work would turn up, and I was [...]

Building an Amiga 1200 tower, part 1: mounting motherboard and BlizzardPPC

I have been trying to sell this Amiga 1200 tower case for over a year without luck so in a desperate final attempt I am going to stuff it with a MicroniK Z2 busboard, a Phase 5 BlizzardPPC and some other goodies to try and sell as a complete A1200T system.
For this to succeed I [...]

Amiga 1200 tower

Yes, this is what my teaser from the previous post is going to become. Yesterday I picked up a very nice Gift Tower System for the Amiga from Amigaz.
It is an excellent Amiga 1200 tower and must be quite rare since not much information about the tower is available on the net.

The Amiga 1200 desktop project

I have been reluctantly considering posting information about my latest project. It seems the more you post about a project, the more likely the project will never fly. However I have come quite far on this one so I am taking a chance here.
Anyway, I got inspired to put together one of my A1200 with [...]

Indivision AGA tested, verdict: purchase one (or two) now!

Finally today I had some time to spare so I could try out my Indivision AGA Scandoubler/Flickerfixer that I received from AmigaKit earlier this week.

Indivision arrived but no time to play

How glad I am that my Indivision AGA arrived today all the way from UK (please do not remind me that I could get it a bit cheaper from a retailer here in Sweden).
If I get some time today (else later in the week) I will update this post with a short review, otherwise by [...]

Indivision AGA – New Amiga 1200 scandoubler and Flicker Fixer

Late summer 2008 will see the introduction of a new scandoubler/flicker fixer to the Amiga 1200. If this is something you have missed for your A1200 I suggest you head over to Amigakit or Vesalia and preorder the Indivision AGA 1200 scandoubler /flicker fixer now.
Although the price may seem a bit hefty at first, recent [...]
