Amiga A1200

Acquisition

Funny story. Document here somday.

PSU

Came with 25W 220v-only, euro-plug PSU. This one (or this one if we want something cheaper, slightly higher quality, and less powerful) is a good-looking substitute, but we have to splice in the super-proprietary commodore square power connector (documented here and here) since it's impossible to get except attached to a power supply.

We ended up buying the first one from Jameco (probably won't exist soon since it's an overstock "special") and splicing the connector.

Accelerator

We've purchased a Phase5 Blizzard 1260 accelerator from France. It has a 50mhz 68060, and a slot for a 72-pin SIMM (it came with 16mb of EDO DRAM).

I information and drivers for a bunch of Phase5 products here. I'm also attaching the manual for the device. Blizzard1240_en.pdf
