In the latest episode from Chris Edwards Restoration, viewers see an Amiga 1200 CF restore done the right way. Chris also creates a future-ready MicroSD build to make later installs easier and faster.
The problem started when one of his CF cards was wiped clean. It lost everything, including the operating system. Chris’s goal was to get the Amiga 1200 booting again quickly. He uses WinUAE alongside a real Amiga 1200 to restore the OS and prepare it for use.
During the process, Chris also tries to fire up Desert Storm. Unfortunately, the game’s hard drive had failed. This stops it from running, adding another challenge to the project.
Despite that setback, the Amiga 1200 CF restore goes smoothly. Chris shares a clear, step-by-step workflow so others can follow along. His approach also sets the stage for the MicroSD build, which will make future OS installs far simpler.
This episode delivers exactly what Amiga enthusiasts enjoy: hands-on restoration, practical solutions, and a dash of troubleshooting. Chris’s easygoing style makes even technical tasks feel approachable. Whether you’re experienced with Amiga repairs or completely new, this walkthrough offers plenty to learn.
