That's fine by me, Harrison! Would save me having to post it, or worrying about which ParcelFarce lackey is going to kick it all the way to its destination. :)

Sorry for the late reply, work's been hectic! I'm based near Southampton, UK.
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?
It's always been one of those things I'd prefer to have and not need, than the other way around. I am an unfortunate sufferer of "empty socket syndrome", and as such am disturbed greatly by solder...
Out of curiosity, I have recently acquired for the ST a Supercharger PC emulator box, perfect condition. I don't want or need it - does anyone know if it might be worth anything to collectors on eBay...
I can't believe what some Chinon FZ357 drives go for on eBay, I've seen them go for upwards of £50 which, unless I've missed something, is an outrageous sum for almost any drive in this day and age,...
Hey Harrison, cheers for the info :) No doubt that disk utility will prove useful too, I plan to get hold of some DX7 editor software for use with my vintage synths, the ST was THE machine for that...
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 :)
Just a quickie - is this recommended? After a long absence I have decided to get back on my A1200 rebuilding project and I'm wondering if it's really necessary to replace the RF shield. Mine was...
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"...
It's also a common problem with a lot of old 80s synthesizers.. what we tend to do there, is solder some flyleads to the motherboard and mount a lithium button cell on a holder elsewhere in the...
Hmm, this thread has got me thinking... aside from the corrupted screen this behaviour was very similar to that of my A1200 which is currently in a million pieces awaiting repair.
If I have a...

I just found that, any help?
Well, it looks like I've found every single one of the parts I need in the near future at AmigaKit! Even a new RF shield which might well be easier than cleaning the old one.
Have you guys done...
I'm guessing I'd be S.O.L for drivers :( Can't imagine anyone's tried to bodge the MDM-111 into an Amiga before so nobody would have needed to write any. I was kinda hoping that the OS might see it...
Yeah, I always loved them as a data storage format. Very reliable and would be great for backups! Also, I want people to look at my finished A1200 and go "holy crap, minidisc drive! cool!" :D
If...
Thanks for the replies guys :) Now I've calmed down a little I'm more inclined to work on it as a restoration project. Given that the case and motherboard appear to be fine, and a brand new...
Right, so I decided to pick up an A1200 off eBay, as a birthday present to myself, and I've run into a few problems.
Given the item was described as being in good condition, full working order,...
Thanks! That's exactly the kind of thing I was after! Bookmarked :D
Thanks harrison,
I intend to use the A500 for MIDI sequencing applications, controlling outboard MIDI gear and also running software editors for old 80s synths - gaming is not a priority so I'm...
Hey guys, been a long time since I last posted! Just got a couple of things I'd like to run by the experts...
I'm about to pick up an A500 essentially for the price of postage, and while I'm more...
SMD caps are unlikely to "blow" in any serious way. Far better to leave them exactly where they are and not get involved! :D To be honest unless something's visibly leaking, smoking or obviously "not...
A better option would be to replace all electrolytics approaching 20 years old, as they're only supposed to last that long anyway :) The drift in values as they age could cause malfunctions or damage...
That's some pretty tasty spec :) I'll be keeping an eye on this one for sure.
Just like it says on the tin. I'm interested in anything and everything you guys know about softsynths written for Amiga. Preferrably ones which don't require a towered PPC-powered beast, because I...
