A long time ago I had my original 1200 hacked into a
tower with a whole lot of add-ons. I had a PCMCIA
ethernet card and contemplated getting another (I
sold the other one back in 2002) on eBay when a
thought came to me; Would the 1200 be able to use a
PCMCIA 802.11b wireless network card. A little bit of
digging found this site.
After reading the documentation for the prism2 driver found on Aminet, I went over to eBay and started searching. I found a Nokia C110 which according to the compatibility list should work. I won the auction as the only bidder of US$0.99.
I'm looking to install OS 3.9 and will need a CD-ROM drive. The thought of one in an external case is downright bile-raising. It thwarts the integrity and the ideal of the 1200's design. I found some references (I'll add the link when I find it again) to mounting a laptop CD drive internally. So I searched eBay for the bits and pieces I needed. Unfortunately, a single converter/cable doesn't exist. To go from 44pin IDE to the CD drive's JAE interface I need 4 separate bits.
Everything is ordered. The waiting begins.
