I am selling my CDTV to fund the purchase of an A1200 along with upgrading my 500

looking at purchasing with Gotek with OLED Mod and Rotary encoder with DF0/DF1 selector for the 500
long with a USB mouse adaptor so I can use a modern mouse
along with a solution for using a LCD screen so a few things on the go...

Any recommendations on who to buy through?

Recently sold a C64 to help fund this work but still have my mini and Pi if I want a c64 game....   

Welcome!

Epsillon, I'm really surprised to hear you have had Vampire systems die - I've had my V500 in A500's and (presently) my A2000 (none of which have been recapped, original PSUs) and I leave them rendering for days on-end with no problems.

What systems have you had die on you? A600's?

Personally I'm deciding whether to get a V1200, V4 or A1222, but I have to say V4 looks the more appealing option to me (but I've never tried an NG system - maybe they're great).

Don't understand the appeal of the stand-alone system though - all I'd do with a SA is put it in an Amiga case anyway

One A500 and one A600 stopped working not long after installing Vampires in them. Both worked perfectly before Vampire installation.

My A2000 mouse port stopped working completely not long after putting the vampire 500 in it. worked faultlessly since 1991....

Hi Epsilon,

Completely agree with your first post on the Vampire, definitely worth more than 2c 

I am surprised to hear your Amigas were killed by the Vampire boards though. That should not happen and I am confident that they could be easily repaired. If you ever want to consider that, I would be glad to take a look at any of them for you!

I own one too. They are really nice little devices, and much more like a real Amiga than an emulator (RPi, UAE etc).

The ARM board makes a big improvement, but you can also use an upgraded PIC chip to get similar functionality.

I have one, it’s not bad I think it feels more Amiga than say a Raspberry Pi with amiberry and has a pretty good physical size and VGA output, I tend to prefer the real thing (even if it has been augmented beyond stock standard)

Do you have the ARM mod?
