Just wanted to make a post as a recipient of Obitus' efforts on my A1200 motherboard. As the photos he posted the other day show (yeah, that's my board), he replaced the original capacitors, as well as worked on the video/color outputs. What are my thoughts on his work? Well, let me post a few photos that I took after I installed the board today & fired it up.
- MB installed with HDD, Clock, GVP 1230 Turbo+ all attached.
- Case reassembled with external floppies attached.
- A quick shot of desktop (running OS 3.1 with MagicWorkbench).
- Another shot of desktop (great colors!)
- Final shot with Workbench drawer open & clock running.
I can honestly say that I'm quite impressed with the workmanship. You'd have to have seen what the desktop looked like a few weeks ago when I first booted it up (after a very long hibernation period) to appreciate what you see here.
Obitus did burn & install 3.1.4 ROM's for me but I had to temporarily reinstall 3.0 ROM's to get things fired up. I have hardware upgrades ordered & en route from Amigakit that will improve the performance of the machine.
I highly recommend Obitus' services. I was pleased with the updates that he sent me informing of the progress being made. I thought the prices were more than fair, especially considering the work performed (and the results!).
If there are any questions or comments, I'd be happy to provide additional feedback.
