Hello!
My name is Stefano Maria and I am an AMIGA computer fan.
I own an AMIGA 1200 made by AMIGA TECHNOLOGIES, a (console?) CD32 made by COMMODORE, and an AMIGA 500 made by COMMODORE again.
Connected to the AMIGA 1200 parallel port there is a HEWLETT PACKARD DESKJET 610C colour printer, that even thought its age and the loosing of both the paper sheet wings, it works fine yet.

I have purchased from VESALIA (www.vesalia.de) a BLIZZARD 1230 IV accellerator board with a ram module and now the AMIGA 1200 has 64 Megs of fast ram, and uses a MOTOROLA 68030 processor that runs at the frequency of fifty MegaHertz; this could seems ridiculous compared with the actual work frequencies of PCs and MACs, but for an AMIGA this is a great improvement, seen that the AMIGA 1200 has a bare MOTOROLA 68020 processor that runs at a lower frequency, that is fourteen MegaHertz; think that the AMIGA 500 has a MOTOROLA 68000 processor that works at a frequency of seven MegaHertz.
Spite of this they are great computers!

On date Monday 19 January 2004 it has arrived to me the SCSI KIT for the BLIZZARD 1230 IV of the AMIGA 1200, purchased from the AMIGA italian reseller named VIRTUAL WORKS (www.virtualworks.it); now the AMIGA 1200 can use SCSI peripherals like an external cd reader and besides I can increase the fast ram up to 128 Megs, with no count the 64 Megs already present on the BLIZZARD!

On date Tuesday, 15 november 2005 I have purchased from MEDIAWORLD (www.mediaworld.it) a 60 Gigs hard disk for the AMIGA 1200; unfortunately the AMIGA 1200 can use only the first 4 Gigs, to be able to use the whole capacity I must take the right decision.

On date Tuesday 25 July 2006 it has arrived to my from AMIGAKIT (www.amigakit.com) a 64 Megs ram module, and now the AMIGA 1200 has the beauty of 128 Megs of fast ram!
I have enclosed in the order a beautyful joystick for the AMIGAs, I have tested it with SUPER HANG ON on the AMIGA 500; I thought it smaller.

On date Friday first June 2007 it has arrived to me from VESALIA the OS 3.9 on cd for the AMIGA 1200, Viva!
Now I have only to install it on the AMIGA 1200 safety virtual image on the PC and then copy it by cable from the PC to the AMIGA 1200, great!
Thanks also to the italian software house CLOANTO for has putted on its site the latest version of AMIGA EXPLORER to download for the owners like me of an original copy of AMIGA FOREVER!

I have purchased for my AMIGAs an EASYLIVING fifteen inches LCD television of the four third format with SCART, audio video composite, S-VIDEO end at end VGA connections; the fine thing is that it works perfectly with my AMIGAs, thanking also my AMIGA to SCART-RGB cable that I have used to connect the AMIGA 1200; the COMMODORE 1084S cathode ray tube monitor thanking my father I have left to the dump.

I have purchased from VESALIA for about 9 Euros a SCSI cd reader, then I have searched on the Web a SCSI self powered box, and fortunally I have found it and I have purchased it with the AMIGA 1200 SCSI connection cable from a man italian like me with the name Fabrizio that has asked me only 15 Euros for the SCSI self powered box and the cable.
On date Monday 15 February 2010 I have met this man and I have payed to him 15 Euros receiving the SCSI self powered box with the cable for the AMIGA 1200.
Returned at home I have assembled all and the cd reader has worked with the AMIGA 1200 at the first try!

On date Thursday 26 August 2010 it has arrived to me from AMIGAKIT the items I have ordered on the site few days before, that I thought to find, that is the support for the SCSI connector on the AMIGA 1200.
Thanking my father also that has found for me the nuts to lock the connector to the support, I have opened the AMIGA 1200, I have removed the floppies writer and, after some tries, I succesfully locked the SCSI connector to its support, that I have locked before to the AMIGA 1200 case with its screw!
Now thanking AMIGAKIT and my father also the AMIGA 1200 has a new connector firmly locked on the rear from which the SCSI cd reader is connected!
