To get the Amiga to the state you can see here. (Apple 2 monitor was all I had for a monitor). Was quite the story. First the FDD was dead, so I swaped it with one from an Amiga 500. That drive worked but did not fit the case, so I nabed one from an dead Amiga 600. Worked perfectly & fitted in the machine.

The next problem was the HDD, being 30 years old it was very temrimental & ofter would not spin up without being beaten, so that needed a solid state solution.

So I had sitting in an old laptop from the mid 90s a CF to IDE adapter with a 64MB CF card in. I wiped it & installed it in the the Amiga 1200. Then cam the hard part. Installing the software. As I did not have Workbench & most Amigas only come with games I had no option but to make my own disks.

After way to much trobble I found my Greaseweazle V4 & the original A600 FDD to create the 6 Workbench v3.0 disks. From them I was able to install the OS. As my Amiga mouse has gone walkys I would have to do the rest at the musium.
