A1200 Pc Prototype with floppy drive Building Guide

  

by Toolkitman: 

This is my project A1200 pc with real floppy drive working. It is a very modular project because you can change computer pieces by plug and play, usb cables etc. If the pc stick become obsolete you can use a new one with new Operating System and more space by swapping it inside the case. No soldering required.

 I have used to complete this computer an:

1) A1200.net white  Case

2) Keyrah for AMIGA and C64 Keyboard

3) Greaseweazle V4

4) PC Stick SiComputer with windows 10

5) An AMIGA or PC to Amiga conversion floppy Drive or a PC Drive: check the cables to buy for Greaseweazle they are not equal for pc and AMIGA Floppy.

6) 4 ports 2.0 USB HUB

7) AMIGA 1200 or Kipper 2k Keyboard

7) Software AMIGA FOREVER 10 Plus edition

8) USB and Hdmi cables

9) Molex to HDD converted to floppy drive 5-12 volts 2A power supply.

This Computer boot Windows 10 and then run the Amiga Forever interface

to run every AMIGA software from HDD or floppy image or real floppy.


If you are not at least an Hardware Technician with good preparation on new and old hardware dont try to build this project.

Building Instructions:

Take the buttom case part and screw the Keyrah, connect on Keyrah the leds cable and the flat green AMIGA Keyboard cable.Connect the Keyrah to the usb 2.0 hub and insert it inside the case connecting the hub to the usb of the Pc stick positioning the pc stick half a way inside a right port of the buttom case. Insert the Greseweazle and connect the floppy power supply with the floppy molex to floppy drive and not to Greaseweazle, remove  the Greaseweazle floppy molex cable from it it is not necessary anymore. Connect Greaseweazle to the 2.0 usb hub. and Connect the flat grey ata cable to floppy drive and Greaseweazle. This computer needs the power supply of floppy and of pc stick connect to energy. Use the remaining usb port of usb 2.0 hub with extension mole to femole usb cables to use external peripherials like mouse pen drive etc.
