Amiga 1200 Raspberry Pi

[Matteo]

Hi People,
This is my new project to install a raspberry pi in an Amiga 1200 complete with working keyboard case.
It's still a work in progress
Take a look.

you do know PCMCIA drivers for Amiga OS are available for the 1200 and 600 as they use PCMCIA on the left side so you can add PCMCIA2USB and simply power your RPI from a awesome old Computer and also Network Pcmcia drivers so you could ssh or VNC from Amiga OS to raspbian or similar.

This is a nice idea to make communicate my new Raspberry pi Amiga 1200 with my old original Amiga 1200.

But i have found this post that say a 32 bit card doesn't works on Amiga 1200.

Setup the keyboard to UK layout and it's ready also for Raspbian Wheezy.

I have made a little modification, i have fitted the raspberry pi inside the modmypi case and fixed with patafix to the case so there is less heating from the raspi motherboard that connected directly to patafix will became hot.

[Matteo]

I have only a problem with keyrah at kernel loading the keyboard works fine but i get an error 22. If someone can help fix this. I'm using now raspbian wheezy.

[Matteo]

I have updated the homepage with 2 new photos one showing the probe error -22 of keyrah. It's working fine but show this error.

Brillent idea. I think i'm going to have to dig out my old comador and try something similar would be easyer than moving my laptop to and from uni

Hi new update for my A1200 Raspberry Pi, I have installed RISC OS. It run out of the box internet sound and a 1920x1080 screen resolution FANTASTIC!!!.
Keyboard is also well recognised.

Really nice case!

That's pretty cool!

I want to do a similar thing, but stick a Pi in a regular PC keyboard and treat it like a new age Microcomputer. Issue is I've yet to find a relatively affordable keyboard with enough space inside. I could do the same this as you as tear up an Amiga, but I always wanted an Amiga as a kid, so it might be heart breaking... lol!

THANK YOU for your compliments about my projects : ).
Septic Lemon i have read about a project of a cherry keyboard with a raspberry pi inside, can be you have just seen it, take a look.
