- Hmmmm. Interesting question. Would it be possible to put a A1200
- motherboard into an A1000 case? It would be a *darned* cheap upgrade
- to an accelerated AGA machine. (plus I have a couple of slightly
- toasted A1000s)
-
- Question #2: Would it be PRACTICAL to put a A1200 motherboard into a
- Amiga 1000 case? (Any cutting, pasting, gluing, soldering?)
- Maybe use the A1200 case as a keyboard case?
