68040 accelerator
« on: July 08, 2012, 02:20:22 PM »
I have the chance to purchase an Apollo 68040 accelerator for my a1200, seller mentions there are no drivers or Floppy Disks with it...can anyone tell me whether this accelerator board is recognised by the system without drivers? Is it compatible with every a1200 mobo revision or picky?
 
I'd rather not purchase if it is to cause me hassle.
 
Cheers

I have 2 A1200's.
 
A Desktop Dynamites pack and also Amiga Technologies A1200
 
I dont know what mobo revision is in either one? I won't be busting the warranty seal on the AT one as it's never been opened.

I don't mind opening my Desktop Dynamites a1200 but do not wish to open the AT a1200 to keep it's untouched originality.
 
What revision mobo a1200 do the Desktop Dynamites generally have?

The AT a1200 unit I have, has a sale date of 1997 suppose it's worth a dabble, if it doesn't work out for me, what can I get in resale value from Apollo 040 with 32mb ram?

I only really wish to expand my a1200 DD with accelerators.
Upon reading it could be a 1D4 mobo, but wont know for certain until I look.
 
I have a Amitek Hawk 4/8mb ram card I could put in my pristine AT a1200 model.
 
 
I do have the heavy type A500 PSU, it weighs a ton, literally lol...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190696647767?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

OK that is what I bid and won, but to get to me in the UK it will be doing near 5000 mile journey over the Atlantic, I'm taking a big risk...
 
Aren't they worth considerably more? £250-300?
