Hiya,

I've got a A1200 with the micronick Z2 busboard too (actually it's a Micronik built A1300 or whatever they called their 'A1200 in a tower'). So far I've only used an Ariadne II in it, works like a charm.

What you wouldn't want to put in there is SCSI/IDE cards I think. The Z2 busboard doesn't allow DMA so it would be dead slow.

"Is it compatible with 3.0 roms? I haven't got 3.1 yet! I don't have a lot of money unfortunately."

I honestly don't know. As I understand you already have the parts, just try it out.

I don't know how GFX cards will perform on it. Another option for Ethernet is using an NE2000 PCMCIA card, as Amiga Ethernet Z2 cards tend to be a bit expensive (I bought my Ariadne II for ~60 EUR (second hand)).
