I've got myself a Commodore Amiga A1200 from eBay. It's the first time I've ever had one. In this video i unbox it and see if i can get it to do anything.

Thanks to Jan Beta (youtube.com/c/JanBeta) and Catriona on the Jan Beta Discord for telling me why the A1200 takes ages to boot, and suggesting this https://amigastore.eu/752-amiga-ide-terminator-44-pin.html as a fix if you don't want to put a hard drive in.
