Unboxing my Amiga 1200 HD Magic Pack, originally released by Escom / Amiga Technologies Inc. in 1995. This was my 3rd Amiga.
My Amiga 1200 (by Commodore) had an Apollo 040 accelerator during the 90s, but in the early 2000s I switched to a Blizzard PPC and a Mediator PCI busboard. So, it didn't fit in its original case anymore and I had to put in in a tower.
The expanded Amiga was great for my everyday use, but I soon started missing the original Amiga feel of the desktop case and keyboard (first world problems)
So, since they were still sold in those days, I bought this Magic Pack as a secondary Amiga and added a Blizzard-IV, to mainly use it for WHDload, Demos and generally nostalgic stuff.
The HD edition of the Magic Pack had a 260MB Hard Disk with the OS and bundled software preinstalled. It also included SCALA MM300.
I'd replaced it with a larger drive, but I don't remember what happened to the original one. I think a friend's got it.
Anyway, for the sake of making this video I did a clean 3.1 install that should look roughly as it was originally. But since I haven't got Scala MM300 I installed MM400 instead, which is left over from the TV Station days (that's what I bought the other A1200 for)
