A1200 for music production?

Thanks for the welcome I'll check out amibay, also having a mooch around on SoftwareHut, they seem to have loads of neat stuff.

I wouldn't bother trying software hut as they don't have most of the stuff they are advertising in stock. If you do try them then email them first to check availability. Amigakit is about the only retailer left in the UK for new hardware but software is generally available for free on the net.

Hi Fern,

Welcome to the Classicamiga forum. Hope you will enjoy your stay.

The Blizzard 1230 is an excellent accelerator for the Amiga 1200. I've used one myself for several years and I've never had any problems with it. I've got the mark IV version with FPU and 16MB of RAM, which I believe is the last version they produced in this series.

After installing such an accelerator, you will immidiately notice a huge increase in performance. Especially Workbench will be a fun to work with.

I second the recommendation about Amibay. I'm sure you'll be able to track down some of the stuff you are after from this site.

Amigakit in the UK is also a great alternative for new stuff. Have shopped there a couple of times and the service is excellent. There's also Vesalia in Germany if don't mind purchasing from abroad. They have a wide selection of goodies.

Good luck in your hunt!
