I see a picture of a Amiga A1200. I had the A600, did get the A1200 after a while and rember fitting a 3.5 inch hdd into a computer that was desigiened for a 2.5. I towered that shit up with a eyetech inteface and gave it a ide cd rom. I used a soilding iron to lift the legs off the suface mounted chips to conected th clock and data lines fo a extearnal keyboard. Mess with my spellin of punction if you wish.
