I will be using alot of the stuff i already have. I will have to buy some stuff though trying to make it a buget build. So now on hunt for bits i've got see what turns up.
But still going to test first. i'll be testing using a usb stick with pupy linux, no HDD or Cdrom it better work
Many Thanks

Oh, all the talk really is enticing me to do the same. However, rather than a laptop motherboard I've been wanting to utilise a mini-itx board with a dual core atom or maybe the faster ones now available with Core 2 sockets. Would be great.

Also this project is one I could actually see a Catweasel being useful, as a PC floppy could be founded in the A1200's floppy bay and connected up, so real Amiga, other system, and PC disks could be read.

Are you both going to wire up the A1200's LEDs for Power and HDD access? Would really finish it off.

Err have not got that far yet but i think it should be doable on my board have to check.
Harrison havent you mentioned this before in another thread ?
Yes if not for funds i would that me self. A dual core amiga that would be just awsome

Yes, I've had the idea to do it for quite some time and have mentioned it in the past a number of times.

I've always left it hoping I will instead get hold of a donor system I can use. I also currently don't have a spare A1200 case and keyboard, although I do have a spare A600 case and keyboard, so could actually use that to make a really nice and small retro emulation PC. Hmm...

Harrison yes use the spare A600 case dont take apart a working system. As i am still unsure to use my A1200 it's to good to hack about with it.
Yeah a nice little emulation machine housed in A600 even better. Running windows 7 ultimate 32 or 64 hmm
Many Thanks

the mini-itx should fit in A600 case.
Come on Harison, i would like to see your project, you talked about it before.
About the lights, yes, i will use the wires from A1200.

Hi All
Well i tested the mboard and it didnt work. Now i know why it went in to tha attic. For parts as i had it for about 4 years.
Next plan is possibly Amiga on a PC. Now which pc to try it with ?? Hmm
