This gallery is dedicated to the famous 32-Bit home computer "Commodore Amiga 1200" released in the year 1992 and discontinued in the year 1996 (20 years ago).
Amiga 1200 retro computer
I used an old and original "Amiga 1200" case with US keyboard, a LED circuit board, a "Keyrah USB keyboard interface" card and various cables and connectors to build a new (portable and akku powered) retro computer. The base (mainboard) is a "Raspberry Pi 3 Model B" with RetroPie OS with a lot of emulators inside, e.g. Oric-1, Oric Atmos, Commodore C128, Commodore C64, ZX-Spectrum, Apple II.
When you build your own - listen to "Gordon Schumway - Amiga 1200 On The Run"
