I’ve dug out my old Amiga 1200, replaced the hard disk with a CompactFlash card and am now trying to connect it to WiFi.

I may also have to replace all the capacitors which would be an adventure. Might end up paying someone else to do that.



Don't pay somebody- learn how to do it! For what you'd pay somebody, you can buy a soldering kit on Amazon for $15 that includes solder even, and works just fine. And then Youtube the rest. The capacitors themselves will be cheap, and I'm sure the online Amiga community could help you with sourcing them and learning how to do the job. Electronics is a fun hobby :)
