best upgrade for ntsc amiga 1200?

[desiv]

Thanks guys-I followed your advice , and got the ACA 1232/25 128MB Accelerator. I paid $2. extra for the ACA tune utility , which I hope I can use. Probably take a week to ship to USA.

Good call.  It's a good card.  I am assuming the ACATUNE software for $2 is because they are putting it on a disk for you?  The software is free.
Yes, you can use it, and will want to use it with your ACA..  

 so I will have to rebuild the cf card  in winuae to use 3.0 kickstart to match my hardware .

Amigakit would love to sell them, but it's a rights issue (as in who owns them).

However, you are getting an ACA!!
You can softkick the kickstart 3.1 rom using ACATUNE and your ACA card.
Don't rebuild your OS.. ;-)

KS 3.1 ROM's for every classic Amiga are available at Amigakit except the A1200, so it can't be a copyright issue,

Not sure that's a valid "if" "therefor" statement you made..

What if they had licensed ones before, sold out  and can't get new ones without someone to sell them the licenses..
And, it's possible, they still have every classic Amiga one except the 1200 because they sold out of only the 1200 ones..

Of course, it's possible they will burn kickstart ROMs without a license, but I'd be surprised..  I know Jens went to a lot of digging to get the licensing for the ACA500 for the kickstarts it comes with..
(or so he said)

"Every Kickstart ROM set is supplied with license serial number and has a warranty with after sales support."

Just what I was saying..
There is a license involved..

That's why they are out..
Thanx for finding that..

Interesting..
Wonder what the issue is...

Maybe Hyperion makes Amigakit buy them in batches or something?

Too bad..
Even tho I'm softkicking, I'd buy one to be official..

No, it's not. In fact, apart from AOS3.5/3.9 (and software that requires 3.5/3.9) there's hardly anything at all that requires Kickstart 3.1.

Good point..
For me, it's just  because I've been running WB 3.1 for a while (I know you don't need KS 3.1 for WB 3.1, but they were sold together), so I'd like to own the kickstart.  And I've considered 3.5 and 3.9...  (But haven't decided yet, as 3.1 with "stuff" is pretty good)

So true, you don't need 3.1 unless you are planning on running 3.5/3.9 stuff really..
