that one is OK if you are absolutely sure you don't want to do anything that needs a MMU or FPU.
That was one of my concerns when I got mine.
I wasn't absolutely sure, but I pulled the trigger anyway...
Hasn't bothered me so far..
There are some things that use an FPU. Ray Tracing programs and there's a version of iBrowse, etc...
But I haven't done any ray tracing, and the non-FPU iBrowse works OK for me.
As for the MMU, most of the uses are in the development area.
One use that I think would be nice, but I don't have is Mac emulation.
It's my understanding that ShapeShifter can have improved graphics speed with an MMU? But the only Mac's I'm interested in are 9" b/w, so I'm OK with that too...
Now, I believe that you can replace the 030 in the ACAs with an MMU (non-EC) enabled comparable speed 030 and get an MMU. I think Vesalia was even providing that as a service (selling them with the CPU swapped already) for a bit???
But there is no FPU option...
All-in-all, I'm much happier with my ACA1230/28 without FPU and MMU than I was with my 1200z with FPU. ;-)
I don't regret my purchase at all...
