Amiga A1200 mechanical keyboard (also for Amiga A500) was developed by A1200.NET. The keyboard itself has been designed from the ground up and is fully compatible with the Amiga A1200, and Amiga A500 (with optional adaptor board) and is a direct plug-and-play replacement using the included ribbon cable for the A1200 and for Amiga 500 users the keyboard requires the optional Amiga 500 daughter-board, the controller mounts on the top right of the keyboard and connects via a custom U-shaped ribbon cable beneath the keyboard, then links to the A500 motherboard through a serial wire mirroring the original mounting location and ensuring perfect compatibility.
Designed into the new Amiga A1200 mechanical keyboard is a modular controller bay, different daughter boards can be added to adapt the same base keyboard to various Amiga models thus allowing DIY modules to be developed by individuals or hardware enthusiasts.
The keyboard is 100% compatible with the following:
Motherboards and adaptors:
Amiga A1200 motherboard fully refurbished (various motherboard revisions). Each A1200 motherboard is professionally refurbished and has had the following work completed:
Tested before any work has began.
All electrolytic capacitors removed using professional tools and techniques (no twisting off caps and boards a pre-warmed before the removing capacitors using hot air) this puts far less stress to the board itself.
Pads cleaned with flux/wick/IPA.
New electrolytic capacitors installed using our premium polymer capacitors.
Modulator removed.
Timing fix applied for ACA , TF1230, TF1260 Accelerator Cards.
Board retested - Video (composite and RGB), Audio, CIA, Floppy, IDE, Parallel, Serial, Mouse, Joystick, DF1.
Board ultrasonic cleaned at 60 degrees using deionised water and professional PCB flux cleaner and then dried.
Board tested again and tested for a minimum of 4 hrs playing a rolling demo.
What is Ultrasonic cleaning?
Ultrasonic cleaning is a process that uses ultrasound (usually from 20–40 kHz) to agitate a fluid, this fluid is made up for this specific job which is to clean and remove any flux left over from recapping. We use deionised water (deionized depending where your from) and professional grade PCB cleaner.
An example of the results and the process:

What is Terriblefire?
Well it's not what it's who, and that person is Stephen Leary who has designed a whole host of accelerators and ram cards for the Amiga A500, A1200 and Amiga CD32. These include many but the most common ones are:
TF328 - 8Mb Fast Ram board and IDE socket for the Amiga CD32
TF330 - 68030 Processor, 64Mb Fast Ram and IDE socket for the Amiga CD32
TF536 - 68030 Processor, 64Mb Ram and IDE interface for the Amiga A500 and A500 Plus
TF360 - 68060 Processor other specs TBC for the Amiga CD32
TF1260 - 68060 Processor, 128Mb Ram and IDE Interface for the Amiga 1200
TF1230 - 68030 Processor 64Mb Ram and IDE interface for the Amiga 1200
TF4060 - 68060 Processor 128Mb Ram for the Amiga 4000
TF1200 - Buffee Adaptor + 5.5Mb/8Mb (you will need the new Buffee Processor
NOTES:
For every TF1260 sold we donate a percentage of the sale to Stephen Leary to support further TF card developments and we also support our builders.
Timing fix is recommended on your A1200 motherboard. We can do this free of charge if you send your board to us (return shipping does need to be covered).
At least Kickstart 3.1 is required - (Kickstart 3.0 is not supported)
A1200 FPU upgrade (onboard) which includes socket, FPU and installation.
What does the modification do?
This FPU modification adds a real FPU to the A1200 motherboard, there has always been a place (U0) for an onboard FPU but it was never added. This is a perfect compliment for a stock A1200 or one with an accelerator without an FPU option, for example The TF1230 or any standard ram upgrade like the 11Mb Fast Ram upgrade. However there are a couple of limitations of adding an onboard FPU.
The FPU will be using the CPU clock which is at 14Mhz, which means the FPU will be running at 14Mhz
The FPU will be disabled if you use a 040 or 060 accelerator, for example TF1260. This is because both the 040 and 060 processors do not acknowledge external FPUs as you can get those processors with built in FPUs.
This modification is available as an option on our A1200 recapping service, ReAmiga 1200 and Refurbished units.

Process of ordering:
Like our recapping service, you would need to send us your A1200 motherboard only. Once you have ordered you will receive an automated email with where to send the board and how to pack it.

Asahi Amiga A1200 Case Haruku Green manufactured by A1200.netWhat’s included?
Top case including enhancements
Bottom case including enhancements
Enhanced bottom trapdoor with extra vents.
Enhanced rear trapdoor + extra plastic holder DVI / VGA shaped hole.
Rubber feet
Set of screws
How are these brand new?
In 2016 840 Amiga users made it possible in supporting a Kickstarter to reproduce the Amiga 1200 case, the new cases are made using Injection Molding manufacturing technique to produce top and bottom shells as well as trapdoors and parts. The process implies the use of 3 new moulds, the first one is for the top shell, second mould for the bottom shell and last one for trapdoors and parts, all produced using brand new moulds.
What is the Asahi Series of A1200 cases?
The Asahi series of A1200 cases are limited edition, once gone, they are gone. The word ‘Asahi’ is a Japanese word that means “morning” and “sunlight”. It is derived from the Japanese words asa meaning “morning” and hi meaning “sunlight”. The name symbolizes the start of a new day, and is associated with hope and new beginnings. The limited edition series are available in the following colours:
Akuma Red – The word ‘Akuma’ in Japanese means ‘Devil’. With Devil Red we reference the Red Demon. A historic figure and one of the four Guardians of the Tokugawa in Japanese history. This color Red is a very dark Wine Red but brightens up to a blood red when light emits through it.Arashi Grey – The word ‘Arashi’ in Japanese means ‘Storm’. The case is a very dark grey, but when light emits through it turns into a brighter grey with clear blue accents.
Haruku Green – The word ‘Haruku’ is the Japanese word for ‘Hulk’. This is an ode to the big hulks of oaks you find in Japan. The case is a very dark green, but when light emits through it turns into a brighter richer green.
Shinkai Blue –The word ’Shinkai’ in Japanese means ‘Deep Sea/Ocean’ The case is a rich blue translucent which was close to the Commodore Blue but allow the right light and viewing angle to give it a dark purple hue. The blue brightens up when light emits through it.
Enhancements galore:
The Amiga community has never died and some have produced some great add-ons over the years to make sure the Amiga is still relevant and useful today as it was back in the 80’s/early 90s and these cases take full advantage of that weather that’s simply transferring your existing motherboard from your existing Amiga 1200 or have a luxury of installing a MiST FPGA Board. Below are few more enhancements:
External CF Adaptor
A CF slot can be opened up on the side of the A1200 case to allow easy access to what would be the CF card within the A1200 itself.
MiST FPGA Board
MiST is a FPGA based modern board that implements classic 16bit computers like the Commodore Amiga, Atari ST and 8bit systems like the Commodore 64, ZX-Spectrum, MSX, Atari XL/VCS, Apple II, Colecovision, Sega Master System, NES, SNES as well as Arcade machines. The primary difference between the MiST is that its NOT emulation.
The Amiga A1200 purple case has mounts to mount the MiST FPGA.
Raspberry PI
Yes you can mount a Raspberry PI 2/3 within the new A1200 case with the use of the mounts already part of the case for a nice clean solution.
Keyrah V3
Keyrah V3 for the Amiga 1200/600, C64, VIC 20 and C16Keyrah V3 is an IO adaptor that allows you to use the original keyboards of the Commodore Amiga 600 and 1200, Commodore 64, VIC-20 and C-16 within their respective cases. The purpose of this you can then install a Raspberry PI which uses the original keyboard of that computer and providing 2 x D9 ports. The new Amiga 1200 case has mounts are located at middle top of bottom shell. This location make the keyboard adapter available for Raspberry Pi or MiST board. Original Amiga 1200 keyboard ribbon will fit nicely just at the right place on the keyboard adapter board. I/O connectors are accessible through rear panel I/O slots.
So what are the differences with the original Commodore case?
All screws are secured with metal brass inserts. No more broken plastic clips.
The bottom trapdoor has extra vents for a better case air flow.
2 new rear trapdoors are available to accommodate VGA and DVI. The third one is a Plain door.
