Amiga 1200CD

Eventually in the november 2022 I got all the pieces and parts together again. After finishing the keyboard I did one more update for the A1200. TF1260 After long thinking I finally decided that while I'm working with the system I'm gonna take it to the level what I've dreamt of so I bought a TerribleFire TF1260 with 68060RC Rel5. As it doesn't have real time clock I bought one of those also. I wanted to utilize all the features of the card so I also made a custom kickstart of 3.2.1 to include the ehide.device driver for the IDE port in the TF1260. I followed the instructions from CRG's video https://youtu.be/1Q2qtDPY-i4 except that I didn't make 1MB ROM but stayed with 512kB as ehide.device fitted just into it. Now the Amiga boots from the CF card that is attached to the TF1260. IDE speed raised from 2MB/s to 4MB/s. Photos So here it is with it's final form. There's some minor details that I might still rework, but I'm very happy with the end result...

Unstable setup While designing and printing the parts for the case I also did some hardware testing to see that everything works as expected. First I upgraded the Blizzard's SIMM memory module from 16MB to 64MB and after testing it to be working I played a bit, at that moment, just released Tiny Bobble game. For some reason the game would always freeze in early phases when the turbo card was connected. Also I couldn't get the Workbench to load from the HDD. I didn't really have time at that moment to debug what caused those issues so I though that maybe the game just doesn't run properly yet with 68030 and my Workbench install in the old HDD was failing. I was going to make a new installation to CF card so I didn't want to start to check how to fix that. However later when I was testing things again I run to more stability issues. I had made an WB 3.1.4 installation to CF card with WinUAE/FS-UAE and tested that with the Amiga. I got constant lockups and many times t...
