Lost

Life went on and I didn't have much time for Amiga hobby and as I also didn't have too much space in the apartment(s) I decided to store my Amiga to my parents' house somewhere around 2011. That way it would be safe in warm room until I had more space again to put it back to action.

Three years later we had bought a house for our family so now I had opportunity to take the Amiga back into business. So one day in september I visited my parents and went to the cupboard that the Amiga was in and found nothing. I looked around the house later for other possible places but couldn't find it anywhere. I asked my parents that where is it but they couldn't remember. Only explanation would be that my dad had taken it to electronics recycling at some point.

I started to count in my mind that how much money it would take to get the same setup built again. I got pretty far until my parents called and told that my Amiga had been found. My dad had remembered giving some stuff to their neighbor's son and that something included my Amiga. Luckily he had it still around so I got it back and it was in pretty good shape. It had only lost two of its four chromed legs. I also tested it and found out it working fine. One thing that I noticed was that it was quite noisy, not that it had got noisier, but 2,5" inch hd drive and power supply fan were quite loud. So I got idea that maybe I should upgrade the Amiga a bit. At least change hdd to CF-card and maybe get a quieter power supply. I had also read about recapping needs of later Amigas because of the bad quality smd capacitors.

So it was time to fix my Amiga.

DIY Amiga keyboard

Idea While sanding the case I got time to think and it got me that I haven't owned a real Amiga keyboard since we sold our Amiga 600 in childhood. I've always been using a PC keyboard with my A1200. I really wanted a one with swedish/finnish layout, but they are really hard to find and if you happen to see one on sale it will cost very much. So I started to google around and I found out that you can actually use a Amiga 500 as external keyboard with small modification. You just need to remove the Q1 transistor to get the Ctrl+A+A reset to work. Modeling and making I started to look for a Amiga 500 keyboard which I could use to create my own external keyboard. I was lucky and found out that my old colleague had one with some missing keys so I bought it from him. He also had a A4000 keyboard so I took a lot of measurements and later opened Fusion 360 for making a model of the case. The missing keycaps I was able to find from a Facebook group for very reasonable price. They were v

Case design

My original plan was still to use aluminium sheets for creating new front and back panels to the same old VCR case. However, I got familiar to 3D printing at my job and when the Prusa launched Prusa Mini 3D printer I decided that I will get one for my other hobbies. While waiting few months in the order queue for the printer I also started to think that maybe I could use the printer also in the Amiga project. So I started to learn 3D modeling with Fusion 360. It has free plan for personal use and it seemed to be enough for this project. I started the modeling with the front panel frame. Idea was to figure out where to place DVD-drive and floppy drive so I could cut the aluminium plates exactly to correct measurements. After some thinking I realized that it would be much easier to actually create both panels with 3D printing. Somehow I got so into 3D modeling that I ended modeling all the parts and many of them way too detailed :) But later it actually paid off as I could just check all

History part 2 - First iteration

This post is translated version of my original article to finnish Amiga magazine SAKU from December 2002 which can be found from here:  http://www.amigazone.fi/saku/41/osastot/sekalaiset/eriamiga.html How it all started The idea to change the casing begin in summer 2000 when I bought my current Amiga. A1200 setup was built into small IBM tower casing which was functional but not so pretty to watch. I decided to start it slow by buying a fitting tower case when I could find one that wouldn't be too expensive. Time went by I hadn't seen a case that would be appropriate. In spring time 2002 I got another idea. A friend of mine told me how he had seen a project in internet where a PC was built into HiFi casing for home theater usage. In the next morning I took a meter and begin to study the possibilities. A1200 with Blizzard 1230-IV combination was about 41 centimeters long so they would fit in 42 cm wide casing. Other minimum measurements were 9 cm for height and about 35 cm deepn
