Maximilion – Good luck with that. I remember the Trumpcard 500 from the magazines of the era, but don’t ever recall seeing one.

Yes, perhaps 500 years from now, someone will find a box of mysterious chips and try to form an Amiga out of them, like an archeologist puzzling bones together :P

I’m still after all these years trying to find a boot rom for my Trumpcard 500 Pro SCSI-controller… contact me via scoopex1988.org if you have one. Rare as rocking horse poo, as some say.

I never had an A1200, but they looked like Commodore was trying to fight off PCs (and Macs, to some degree) with a return to the C64 and Amiga 500 aesthetic.

I have a complete A1200 with monitor and tons of software. I gave away my A2000 with monitor and tons of software several years ago. Bothe worked the last time i fired them up.

Mostly sold. Sometimes given away.

Sadly the minimalism required by rental accommodation and upgrades meant I only have these fossils and memories… and other peoples’ memories. For instance my sister-in-law swears I survived my first couple of years of university entirely by photosynthesizing the glow of my 1081 monitor (or was it a 1084?).

Hold on a minute :) I seem to recall you were looking for homes for the mostly different shades of beige contents of your glass cabinet. Say it’s not so!
