Part 1: Building an Amiga 1200 tower, part 1: mounting motherboard and BlizzardPPC
So during my X-mas vacation I finally got some time to put in to my A1200T power Amiga build that I oh so optimistically wrote about back in September.

Now, this is not a system I am going to keep since I have not [...]

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 [...]

Wow, this weekend have been one of the most intense Amiga weekends in a long time from a personal view.
Amiga Friday
Last Friday I went to pick up my Deneb USB2 card for my Amiga 4000. I was actually expecting to have it fully installed and running in my trusty A4000 in one hour, top two [...]

I went through my harddrive looking for old Webprojects and I found some pictures I snapped when I tried to convert an Amiga 500 keyboard into an external keyboard.
I never finished the job because I got an A4000 quite soon after beginning the project which came with an original external Amiga keyboard.
Once upon a time [...]

Today I picked up a used Amiga 4000 desktop packed with some goodies such as CyberStorm PPC 040, 180 MHz PPC, SunRize AD516 16-bit soundcard and a couple of other bits.

The A4000D is one of my favourite Amiga computers because of its relatively small size, expansion potential and good looks, they where also very popular, [...]

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.
IMHO nothing beats the [...]

Missing: Ariadne 1, Melody 1200 Pro, Sound Enhancer, 2 x floppy drives, 1 x DVD-r

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 [...]

I have been searching for this kind of mini tower for years so I was very happy to find one for sale last Sunday. It is a classic Baby AT tower from 1993, personally I think it’s a beautiful tower, very compact and enough space for hardware. When the ATX standard appeared small towers like [...]

This is just a fake actually. I do not have my A2000 on my desk, usually it lives under my bed. And usually my desk is not so clean either although I try to have it organized to minimize clutter.

I got an idea today to try out if the Buddha Flash Phoenix edition Zorro2 IDE controller works in an A500 through an 86-pin to 100-Pin adapter.

It did not work.
