Are you both going to wire up the A1200's LEDs for Power and HDD access? Would really finish it off. :)
Err have not got that far yet but i think it should be doable on my board have to check.
Harrison havent you mentioned this before in another thread ?
Yes if not for funds i would that me self. A dual core amiga that would be just awsome:)
Yes, I've had the idea to do it for quite some time and have mentioned it in the past a number of times.
I've always left it hoping I will instead get hold of a donor system I can use. I also currently don't have a spare A1200 case and keyboard, although I do have a spare A600 case and keyboard, so could actually use that to make a really nice and small retro emulation PC. Hmm...
Harrison yes use the spare A600 case dont take apart a working system. As i am still unsure to use my A1200 it's to good to hack about with it.
Yeah a nice little emulation machine housed in A600 even better. Running windows 7 ultimate 32 or 64 hmm
Many Thanks

the mini-itx should fit in A600 case.
Come on Harison, i would like to see your project, you talked about it before.
About the lights, yes, i will use the wires from A1200.
Hi All
Well i tested the mboard and it didnt work. Now i know why it went in to tha attic. For parts as i had it for about 4 years.:(
Next plan is possibly Amiga on a PC. Now which pc to try it with ?? Hmm
Amiga on PC?
Put an amiga board in a Pc case?
No Amiga on a pc done by emulation so it boots striaght into win-uae fingers crossed:)
Many Thanks

There are easier solutions. One is Amiga Forever as it includes a Linux distribution which boots directly into the Amiga OS.
Another alternative is AROS which is a ported Amiga OS and has been in development for years.
Personally I would run Windows 7 (can be roughly the same speed as XP on many systems as long as there is enough ram) and have WinUAE running ClassicWB 3.9. Gives a very nice environment, and under emulation is much faster than you could even dream of on a real Amiga, even an 060.
Hi Harrison
Just managed to get ClassicWB 3.9 running + yes it does give it a modern feel to it. so far its on 030 with lot's of memory. I cant get it to 060 at the moment just keep getting error's + not sure
how to configure to 060 + run so many settings to try. Going to try on me pc next thats got more grunt to it.
Many Thanks

Hi, i did some more stuff in this project,
here is a movie about it.
I need to solder some more stuff, prepare the case so i can get all inside it.
It's in Portugues, but you can see it anyway :-)
you can see the keyrah with a competition pro joystick,
1 button for power on connected into the laptop keyboarb slot
1 button for F12 connected into the laptop keyboarb slot
cheers
