    Great video and that 1200 in black is a thing of beauty! Very nice indeed!

      Many thanks Stoo. Really appreciate the comment, and yes, it is a bit of a looker. 😎

    Thoroughly enjoyed that. Nice and clear and concise. Looks fantastic in black, very jealous!

      Ah thank you so much, very kind of you to say. Yes, it does look good and I still find myself just staring at it. 😎

    This was a pleasure to watch all the way to the end.

      Also, you made me want to purchase yet another A1200 😂

      Thanks Darth. 😁 I enjoyed doing it all, but not sure I’d do it again in a hurry. 😅

      @@YawningAngelRetro I have disassembled my A1200 at least 20 times in the past 18 months 😂 in pursuit of perfection

    Looks really cool! Another option could also be a variant with gray/white keys like a commodore plus/4. An a batch with red letters.

      Yes I have some plans around this, but for now I'll stick with all black but keep my options open. 😎

      Thanks Lee. It sure has. It’s firmly “one of the family” now. 😎

      Thanks Daph. It was a fun project, but I prefer making software videos as they don’t result in me cutting myself. 😂

    Good job! Looking forward to the go drive install. Now you need a black mouse to match the case.

      Many thanks. 😁
      I’m hoping the GoDrive will be a quicker job to do. And yes, the mouse colour does need addressing. 😎

    Beautiful.

    Great stuff. I suspect the wonky 4 key on the numeric keypad and beige drive eject button would play havoc with my OCD.. but bravo!

    If I was the cap maker I would have done the tab, shift... another shade, it would help to contrast from the case and bring the same kind of aesthetic present in the original case

    • @YawningAngelRetro
      @YawningAngelRetro  6 месяцев назад +1

      Fair point. A darker grey would look good. 😎

    My Darkula theme for AMOS Pro (on Aminet) will go nicely with that case.

      Ooh, that sounds great. I’ll go and find it. Thanks for the heads up. 😁👍

    It looks sexy in black.
    The clock I installed in my A1200 did'nt work either until I changed the battery and installed some software, sorry but I can't remember the name of it. (I renamed the draw to Temp Sensor, it has a program called AK_Sensors. My RTC also has a temprature sensor on board and an external one for the CPU). Once that was installed, it worked fine.
    I went a bit mad with my A1200's memory upgrade. It's got 137 MB. LOL

    • @YawningAngelRetro

      Thanks Frank. 😎
      I’ll try changing the battery out first, then if that doesn’t work I’ll relocate the RTC to the memory card, which has an RTC port. Not the end of the world, but nice to have.

    Throw in some LED coloured light strips and it'll be perfect.
