When Escom took over the Amiga operation once commodore when bust, they set up an Amiga subsiduary called Amiga Technologies, which re-released the A1200, in a slightly updated form. It consisted of a slightly newer motherboard with KS 3.1 ROMs (as opposed to 3.0) and a PC floppy drive jumpered down to double density for Amiga use. The floppy drive was suitable for most operations however it did have problems with games which used special track loading techniques as anti piracy measures. Please also see the Commodore A1200
