Depends on what you want to do with it and how much memory you want to use on it ?! Want to use more than 8 Mb ? Then this rules out a lot of cards. Want to use 128 Mb ? Then you need to take a choice out of nto so many cards I think ..
And how much do you want to spend ??? The memory is not that important these days so with or without memory won´t make any difference if it´s 16 Mb or below ...

youre chances of finding a cheap 030 50 are impossible but your chances of findin a cheap 040 for a towered A1200 are good. look on ebay, its pretty much the only place to get a good deal.

i can spend about 100PLN (~25EUR). Of course i want to use more than 8 MB of Fast! I need that card to my second a1200, where I currently have M-Tec A1230/28, which is too slow for me.

Don´t think you can find much for 25 euro these days unless you are really lucky  :lol:

I agree with effy, chances are very, very small anyone will be willing to sell you one for 25 euro.

Blizzard 1230 50Mhz go for +- 75€
Apollo 1240 for +- 100€~125€
Blizzard 1240 for +- 150€
From that on the sky is the limit, seen people buying PPC accelerators for >350€

Good luck with it anyway  :-)
