Just watching now...great vid! Gotta support us small UA-camrs. Long live the Amiga.
Thankyou 😊 yeah United we stand together I’ll check your your channel later 😊 thanks for the comment
@@Retro4u appreciate it!
1200 was my fave machine of yesteryear, nice one👍👍
Yeah it’s a great machine :) even better with the pistorm as you will see next video :) thanks for the comment
@@Retro4uCool, not seen a tricked out A1200 b4
Nice work mate ... enjoy the 1200 😉
That's the plan! will get a huge amount of use for sure.. Just finished filming part 2 today :)
Great video! You got lucky with that keyboard, I usually get rusty springs and a good amount of fluff and sticky stuff! Looking forward to part 2! 👍
Yeah the ultrasonic cleaner worked quite well. The pain bit is untangling the springs lol 😂. Thanks for the comment
Got two 1200's.. One I slapped a PiStorm in, running Caffeine.. The second one will be kept more classic, with a turbo card and AmigaOS 3.2. I really love those machines.
Yeah they are amazing machines. I like caffeine is used it on the A600. Just finished this A1200 today. Will
Now be my main machine thanks for the comment.
@@Retro4uSaw your video about the 600 earlier, but hadn't subscribed. Now I did ;) - Got two 600's myself, will set them up like I did with the 1200's. Amazing what can be done with them today. Shame that ethernet doesn't work on the pistorm with Emu68. I'm using plipbox on them.
@StachiBCNR33 thanks for the subscribe. I’m sure it will implemented pistorm is being worked on a lot and I’m sure there are many more options to come
Nice vid your deffo right, the a1200 is the best machine all round and the pistorm definitely adds a lot too it
Yeah I think the pistorm will add more and more as they update it. I’ve been using it most of the day such a great machine
Fitted my 1200 with a pistorm 32 lite and raspberry pi model 3a+. The thing is rapid although I couldn’t get emu68 to work.
Part 2 I install emu68 will be out Friday just had to finish editing and would have been way too long for a single video. Thanks for the comment
@@Retro4uI’ll watch out for that cheers. That godrive looks handy as well. I’ve got a gotek on my a500 and it’s great but quite bulky. This looks tiny in comparison.
@@Mind-your-own-beeswax it’s really good 👍 you will see again in sort 2 I install it. Allows you to have both drives fitted and also easy to access usb and no case mods at all :)
The Zero 2 W has a PI 3 core but only 512mb ram. I am not sure if going to the 3A will be much improvement besides the extra RAM.
Yeah 👍 I like the small size of the zero. My friend has a pi4 now in his looks 🤨 but hanks for the comment
Nice, vid. Just of curiosity will you do a mod for using HDMI?
Hi thanks for the comment. I have actually just installed the picasso drivers and working on fitting a back cover with HDMI as the latest version of EMU68 has better support for the hdmi :) Thanks for the comment
@@Retro4u Magnificent, thank you looking forward to part 2.

I have been doing something similar but I havent changed the roms to Kickstart 3.2. Is this worth doing to allow me to play games?
I only changed the roms as I bought the latest workbench have upgraded it to 3.22 now as it giver you larger hdd support. You will be fine with the ones you have for playing games. Although I’m not 100% sure on the max capacity of your hdd partitions :)
