Welcome To BP Software's What You Need & Where To Get It Page
As you should know from the main page the ABSOLUTE bare minimum is a A1200 with 68020 ans 2MB chip, 4mb fast, but we will not go for that. Mainly because even though you can run the game on this spec Amiga, it is so slow that it is reallly not fun. So we will go for the next spec: a A1200 with a 40 MHZ 680EC30, 2MB chip, and 8MB FAST.
Your Shopping List
1.
A Amiga A1200 (if you have not already got one)
I would like to say at this point that you really should have a hard drive & a CD-ROM drive. The HD will be cheaper if you buy it with your A1200, well it should be.
Unfortuanatly, it is impossible to buy a new A1200 without the Magic pack. The best we could find is: A1200 with
Magic Pack No HD �199.99 from Wizard developments. Web Site:
www.wizard-d.demon.co.uk .
2.

You really need one of these, and at these bargin prices there is no excuse. All our IDE, and easily fit into a A1200:

The squirrel is a special iterface which will allow you to upgrade further in the future. It can hold 6 items (5 more with CD-ROM)!
It easily fits into your A1200, through the PCMCIA port. Just plug it in and you're off!
These drives come from Gasteiner (web adress above)

Accelerator Card with what you need
This card is very good value:
680EC030 / 40 MHZ WITH FPU & 8MB �169.99
It is the best value I could find. It is from Wizard Developments. (Web site on number 1)
Total:
A1200 WITH MAGIC PACK: �199.99
340MB IDE HARD DRIVE: �089.99
4XSPEED SCSI CD-ROM DRIVE WITH SQUIRREL: �139.00
680EC030(40 MHZ) WITH: FPU&8MB: �169.99
TOTAL: �598.97
Before you faint remember that figre has somethings to minus from it like your existing amiga or you may already have some od the things on the list. For example, this is what i have to minus from it:
I HAVE: A A1200 WITH 125MB HARD DRIVE, 2XCD-ROM (SCSI) & A SQUIRREL, AND 4MB.
SO I MINUS:
| A1200 WITH MAGIC PACK: | -�199.99 |

| 340MB HARD DRIVE | -�089.99 |
|---|
| MONEY BACK FROM HANDING IN | |

| MONEY BACK FROM HANDING IN 4MB RAM CARD (AS SECOND HAND: | -�50.00 |
|---|
| MONEY SAVED: | 598.97 -409.98 =188.98 |

So it will coost me about �200 to get my Amiga up to the right level (which I have done)
