Title: Blizzard SCSI RAM question. (AmigaKit)
Post by: bbond007 on November 24, 2011, 10:32:59 PM

Will this fit in the Blizzard 1260 SCSI adapter in a desktop A1200? I know it says it won't fit on the 1260 itself.

It won't fit the Phase 5 1260 because they have a 90° simm socket which will only allow single sided simms to be fitted.  The SCSI IV kit has a 45° simm socket so there shouldn't be a problem.

That is what I thought, but I worry about the length as well...

I also have one 64mb double sided SIMM that won't work because the chips on the back are too close to the base...

just want to be sure before I order something from 1/2 way around the world :)

Trying to decide if I really NEED more than 96MB anyway :)

thanks, nate

Yeah, I just took my cover off and yes, the keyboard makes contact with the SIMM. I guess I want the shortest SIMM possible.

Seek for a slim simm is the work of the amiga dealers, at least advice about the fit of these simms on a desktop a1200.
