My first Amiga was the 500, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

However, my favourite Amiga is the 1200. I think it trumps the 500 because of its huge expansion potential.

Hi all,

Does anybody know if it is still possible to obtain brand new connectors for the trapdoor expansion slot on A1200 computers? Are these connectors some standard type or were they specific to Amiga computers?

If they're a standard type of connector, can anyone name it?

The reason for my interest is I'd like to replace the connector on a couple of my accelerator cards to see if it cures some problems I am experiencing.

Thanks all,

AH.

AmigaOS4.1 for classics is a welcome announcement I think. Of course, it is obvious that our classic machines are not viable platforms for serious computing anymore, but a lot of Amiga users still enjoy their classic machines regardless and it's nice to be able to apply this upgrade to them.
There's a definite cool factor in applying the latest OS4 developments to our classic machines. For as long as it remains viable to do so, I hope that Hyperion will continue to support this.

Regarding X1000 announcements, I am glad they haven't felt pressured into making impetuous announcements about pricing and release dates. It is far better that they show restraint until definitive details are known. Personally I am happy with that.
The thing to remember is that they don't owe us anything. Until we're in a position to put our money where are mouths are and buy the product, then the only people with any investment on the table are the developers of the X1000 themselves and as such they only answer to themselves.
They don't answer to their customers (i.e. us) until they're offering them for sale. So until that time comes, we just have to wait and see.

I'd like to get over to this show one of these days.

Thanks for the AmigaKit link. Regarding this picture:

Does anyone know what the "June Bug" reference is near the bottom right? Is this just some kind of project name that is printed on the main boards of A600 computers?

Cheers,

AH.

<EDIT>

Ah, sorry guys (and girls) I just saw this picture:

http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/c ... mages/amiwest/600card.jpg

Which does show clearly that it is indeed printed on the A600 main board and I would guess that it was a project name for the design.

Thanks,

AH.
