On another note, You may have noticed the Hard Drive Installation
guide on the disk. If you are thinking of buying an IDE Drive here
are some prices (quoted from our local computer store).
Size Price Price including a new A1200
20MB £99 £379
64MB £199 £449
85MB £199 £499
127MB £250 £529
209MB £300 £599
All prices are correct at time of writing.
Before you all write in, NO I have'nt made a mistake in the pricing
of the 64MB and 85MB they are the same price. Why, I don't know!
If you want to upgrade even further, and add some extra memory,
here are some memory expansion prices.
PCMCIA 2MB £129
PCMCIA 4MB £189
Trap door expansions:
4MB Blizzard £169
4MB Power £189
All prices quoted from :
ELM Computing
Cookson Street
Blackpool
If you are going to upgrade your A1200 and are also considering
buying an external CD32 add-on, The CD drive will be connected
to the A1200 by the trap door slot (under the A1200), so any
trap door expansions that you buy will have to be constantly removed
when you want to use the CD Drive.
Therefore those of you wanting to purchase a CD32 Drive would be
better off buying PCMCIA memory cards.
Dont forget the competition, and write in with your letters!
