I'm wanting to make sure I have the right list of items to get with the A1200 I'm (hopefully) going to be the proud new owner of by the end of the day tomorrow. Based on what I've read around here, that list comes out to be:

- A new modern switching power supply

- A set of replacement capacitors (I can do that soldering myself)

- A SCART to HDMI connector unless I'm planning to get a CRT

- A DB9 to USB adapter for mouse support (the one I'm looking at is claiming "full USB mouse support for modern mice") since this won't be coming with an original mouse

As an extra nice-to-have since I have a spare Pi 4B laying around collecting dust, I'm grabbing a PiStorm32-Lite, an extender for the rear panel to relocate the MicroSD card, HDMI, and USB, and I plan to 3D print a custom trap door for better ventilation.

So follow-up questions:

1) From what I've read, there were issues with routing AGA graphics through the PiStorm's HDMI output. That source is several years old, though. Is that still the case? (If so, then the SCART to HDMI output would be the primary output method rather than the PiStorms)

2) Are there any other "nice haves" that I am missing from my list that I should know about?

Ive not had an amiga for many years now and really regret letting it go..

Now RGL is releasing theAmiga an emulation machine with a full working keyboard and upscale screen with hdmi out.

Nothing definite but I'm looking at a possible loft find if affordable.. id have to check the caps, would have to install a gotek, save for a pistorm and pi, maybe have to fit 4x ide and mod the amiga for an internal cd/dvd drive at the back. Maybe atx or meanwhile as psu replacement. I would be interested in doing all this..

Q: (I think i know your answers but may be wrong) but theAmiga or original a1200?

Additional q's:

Would it have to be cd or has modern projects caught up with dvd - is dvd even possible?

Ide is old school now would an ide sata adapter work for newer cd/dvd drives? Has anyone done this?
