Welcome to the story of the 'Back In Black' Amiga A1200.
In this video I take a vanilla stock-standard Amiga A1200 and modernise it, to some degree.
This is a video of that journey.
As part of the modernisation I fit the following:
• A1200.net case
• A1200.net keycaps
• OS 3.2 ROMs
• Internal CF card with OS 3.2 on it
• Real time clock module
• 8Mb RAM expansion
How did this process work out? Did it all go to plan? And was blood shed? (Spoiler - YES!)
You can find me online...

Thanks for watching, and I hope this video is of interest to you.
YA. 😎

Looks professional and valuable, and not like a child's toy.

Thanks Daph. It was a fun project, but I prefer making software videos as they don’t result in me cutting myself. 😂

Thanks Darth. 😁 I enjoyed doing it all, but not sure I’d do it again in a hurry. 😅

@@YawningAngelRetro I have disassembled my A1200 at least 20 times in the past 18 months 😂 in pursuit of perfection

Looks really cool! Another option could also be a variant with gray/white keys like a commodore plus/4. An a batch with red letters.

Yes I have some plans around this, but for now I'll stick with all black but keep my options open. 😎

Good job! Looking forward to the go drive install. Now you need a black mouse to match the case.

Many thanks. 😁 I’m hoping the GoDrive will be a quicker job to do. And yes, the mouse colour does need addressing. 😎

Ah thank you so much, very kind of you to say. Yes, it does look good and I still find myself just staring at it. 😎

If I was the cap maker I would have done the tab, shift... another shade, it would help to contrast from the case and bring the same kind of aesthetic present in the original case

Fair point. A darker grey would look good. 😎

My Darkula theme for AMOS Pro (on Aminet) will go nicely with that case.

It looks sexy in black. The clock I installed in my A1200 did'nt work either until I changed the battery and installed some software, sorry but I can't remember the name of it. (I renamed the draw to Temp Sensor, it has a program called AK_Sensors. My RTC also has a temprature sensor on board and an external one for the CPU). Once that was installed, it worked fine. I went a bit mad with my A1200's memory upgrade. It's got 137 MB. LOL

Thanks Frank. 😎 I’ll try changing the battery out first, then if that doesn’t work I’ll relocate the RTC to the memory card, which has an RTC port. Not the end of the world, but nice to have.

Throw in some LED coloured light strips and it'll be perfect.
