Now that I have a recapped 1200, with IndivisionAGA-MK3, Tsunami-1230 and an angled CF/IDE adaptor. Then the machine need a new case too. Final step would be a brand new keyboard, but the creator does not reply on email. A bit of a shame, as I would really want a non-clicky mechanical keyboard with new keycaps for my 1200.
If you were going to need to do a lot of typing on it, you could add an external keyboard socket, then use an amiga to PS/2 adapter and plug in whatever PC keyboard suited you. But guess really that would be a stopgap until you found the upgrade you wanted. I quite like the stock keyboard.. in fact I think my choices of PC keyboard are influenced by the several years I spent typing up everything on an A1200.
I would not be able to use a SUM keyboard adaptor, as the IndivisionAGA-MK3 uses an adaptor that goes over the same chip. That is required to be able to use the hotkey function of the scandoubler, in order to be able to center the image perfectly. Actually a neat feature, that can move the picture up/down/left/right, but also stretch or compress the picture so it fits perfect border to border.
I could be happy with just new a1200net keycaps, but they are so hard to come by. And if I eventually find them, then they will all be second hand and tripple the kickstarter campaign price. Also the keyboard that I mentioned, is extremely well build. It has an extra plate on the bottom, making it even more stiff.
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
