Maybe I'm repeating myself, but Apollo accelerators should be trashed regardless of their supposed value.


There must have been huge fluctuations in production quality. My 1260 has been a nice, stable card. With an IDE-Fix Express, IDE is about 2 MB/s faster than my old Blizz 1260. Of course the Apollo SCSI option is crap, and 32MB per SIMM limitation is also annoying. But it's a nice card for AGA demos, and all my expansions work with it OK.

My Apollo 1230, on the other hand, is a complete POS. It might run for a few hours, or crash immediately... no telling when. And that's on motherboards with clean power and new caps.

If they keep their promises, we might even do 100Hz PAL


Crossing my fingers here. :)

This would be timing issues.  The apollos are not buffered this is why they are faster than blizzards but a lot more unstable.

 
Yeah, my 1230 crashes on any kind of motherboard, fixed or not. Probably just a b0rked card though... I can't imagine they were all like that. The 1260 on the other hand is a gem.
