Update 22/11/2008

An Amiga OS4.1 arrived from Amigakit.com this morning.

What a happy day!

SAM440Ep where are you? I need to wait a bit longer for her. :(

@Elwood

So nobody manage to have succesful dual boot on SAM440ep board?

@Antique

I'm glad that it's nothing major :P

@orgin

It will work with Amiga 600 as well.

@orgin

There is an adapter called KeyRah. You can use that adapter to connect original Amiga 1200 keyboard as an USB keyboard.

Hello guys,

Here is an update of my Amiga 1200 case new look...

If I had a money for sam440ep board I will try to fit this board to A1200 case and make it real Amiga.

What you need is:
1) an A1200 case ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... &_trkparms=tab%3DWatching )

2) stock Amiga 1200 keyboard ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... &_trkparms=tab%3DWatching )

3) A1200 LEDs ( http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/c ... ?cPath=42&products_id=564 )

4) Keyrah adapter to be able to use Amiga keyboard as USB keyboard ( http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/c ... _info.php?products_id=466 )

5) picoPSU to power the computer ( http://www.itx-warehouse.co.uk/Product.aspx?ProductID=533 ).

6) You also need a hard drive ( http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131277 )

7) and slimdvd drive ( http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149317 )

8) Obviously AmigaOS4.1 CD :) ( http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/c ... _info.php?products_id=839 ).

Also you need some free time and money to buy all things. In my opinion it will be more Amiga feeling instead of another case.

SAM440ep board do not require fans too cool it down. Because it's not very hot to operate (I think it's not, you guys have it, so tell if I'm wrong).
However I don't know if it will be enough space to fit SAM440ep motherboard into the original Amiga 1200 case. The keyboard may be onthe way to fit picoPSU...

Anyway it will be nice to have SAM440ep board in original Amiga case isn't?

Who can take a challenge and make such mod a reality?

@Troels

Sam in A1200 case will be superb as well, what do you think? I need to see the board first, do some measurement and who knows...

@Antique

Laptop, I don't know how mate. :)

This the case I want to use with sam board.

@Valiant

Why not to buy usb hard drive enclousure. Stick another hard drive to it and presto! Then you need to connect that additional hard drive to PS3 usb port and you can exchange data between drives without removing and "playing" with original PS3 hard drive build in the machine. I did it and it works very well for me.

@TiredOfLife

Thanks for answer, now I know what to buy...

I want to build a machine based on SAM motherboard ,and what slim drive DVD burner will be the best for AmigaOS4.1? What software is available for burning DVD?

@Chris

Keep doing great job Chris, hats off before you mate. ;)

@Rudei

I'm fine, busy at work.
I've spoke to Mikey_C another day. I may pop up to ANT meeting in near future, well if I will be alble to find a sunday off work. I want to go back to Amiga mate!!!

Ok, I had microA1 -sold it, then PegasosII- sold it too.

I know both systems (MOS and AOS),and I want to go back to Amiga feeling, but SAM440ep price is a bit too high. I will go for SAM Flex option. I have Radeon 9250 128Mb PCI card co I can use it with SAM Flex. What do you guys think about that?

Ok Guys, could you please convince me to spend money on a new SAM board. Is it really worth to buy one or maybe better to wait until Hyperion release a port of AOS4.1 for PS3. Well, probably it will never happen isn't?

I need to be conviced, it will give me a courage to convice my missus. :)

I wish a Sam Flex and AmigaOS4.1. Machine must look nice. :P
