ok here is only what i know..

Infitiv towers (both models) Fits it fine (plastic and metal ones)
 (totally horrible towers!!!!)

the Rbm Towerhawk towers (all makes) doesnt fit at all, i had to lay all the parts wideopen on the desk to use the thingu just got,
so in the end i bought an mediator and rebulided my towerhawk 2c to fit it.

anyway , dont have any high hopes for zorro in your a1200, yes its nice and all but VERY slow.
I would recomend you to test a mediator system just to see the difference.

good luck

arrgh i forgot this, you must MAKE a special connector for the power, as explained in the manual.

its a while since i did this, but iirc it was that you had to power the zorro board trough the board and then a1200 (ie connect main power to zorro2 board and the a1200 will drain power from there.... but i aint too sure as its a while ago)

Dont expect to use it with games or such, they work but horrible slow, i had a picasso4 on the videobus.

the mediator is 90times faster (i think i aint exaggurating even)

1meg vs 8meg ...

if you have a pc psu, then there aint that much of a problem, but u must stick the AT/AT connector onto the zorro2 (and not into where u have it now)
