New donations – A1200 + Blizzard 1260/80mhz – Scsi Module – 4Mb

November 22nd, 2011 No comments

Today a friend has donated to me some nice things. Thanks Igor.

Things that have been donated:

  • Amiga 1200 in nice cosmetic condition.
  • Amiga 1200 Powersupply.
  • Amiga Mouse (never used)
  • Phase5 Blizzard 1260 / 80Mhz with SCSI Module and 4Mb of Ram.
  • Commodore Amiga Video cable.

About the Amiga:

The A1200 offers a number of advantages over earlier budget Amiga models. Specifically, it is a 32-bit design, the 68EC020 microprocessor is faster than the 68000 and has 2 MB of RAM as standard.

The AGA chipset used in the A1200 is a significant improvement. AGA increases the color palette from 4096 colors to 16.8 million colors with up to 256 on-screen colors and an improved HAM mode allowing 262,144 on-screen colors. The graphics hardware also features improved sprite capacity and faster graphics performance. Additionally, compared to the A600 the A1200 was considered to offer greater expansion possibilities.

About the Blizzard 1260:

The Phase5 Blizzard 1260 is an accelerator which plugs into the trapdoor slot of the A1200. An optional SCSI-II controller is also available for this board. Includes a battery backed up clock. The card was also manufactured by DCE when Phase 5 went bust.
