    A1200 motherboard - free to a good home

    Rev 2B, 3.0 roms, no cables supplied except for FDD power cable. I'm pretty sure it works. I don't want anything for it but donations towards P&P (or a pint!) would be appreciated.

    Who wants it?

    Built in midi ports, and a vast array of synth editor / sequencer software makes it a WIN. Limited sound and video abilities make it a fail. I suppose it depends what you want from the system :)

    They aren't expensive. You may as well buy and install one so it's always there if you need it. I would definitely have one, but then I plan on eventually having my 1200 at a "can play Doom nicely"...
