Well done! Another piece of vintage hardware lives on. How well secured is that S-Video socket?

I finally got around to installing ClassicWB FULL onto my a1200 tonight and I must say I am impressed, it's brilliant!

Hmm, looks like I'll have to implement the timing fixes to my 1D4 a1200 mobo - luckily they only involve removing two SMD resistors.

The Issue Im having is when I enable MapRom with acaTune I get some really weird crashes and most demo's running under WHDLoad freeze within a few seconds of starting. With mapRom off everything is perfect.

Im going to replace the electrolytic caps at the same time as the timing fixes - hopefully my replacement caps wont take long to come from France.

Hmmm, I wonder if anyone can help, trying to get my a1200 online using my NetGear MA401 WiFi card and just not having any luck. Im using this guide:

http://wiki.classicamiga.com/Setting...ccess_on_A1200

and I've tried both the Prism2 v1.7 and newer Prism2 v2.0 drivers (configuring either is quite simple) but when I run Miami Init and give it the prism2.device, my Link light starts flashing and my a1200 freezes solid, no guru etc, just frozen mouse and flashing Link light for ever and a day.

PS, I do have CardPatch & CardReset installed - before I had those installed my WiFi card wasnt recognisable at all.

Check the pcmcia card on an old PC laptop... check if its ok hardware wise before trying to solve it as an Amiga problem.

If its okay... um, no idea... bugger

Today I found two more a1200 mods which I plan to implement once my Cap Kit arrives (plus Timing fix for 1d4 mobo's):

make the FDD a proper Amiga FDD:

fix the motherboard so it works with proper Amiga FDD's:
