You could go for the new ACA 1221 accelerator as on http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1251 , but they seem to be currently out of stock, or perhaps they're still available on http://www.vesalia.de , but they may have decided not to mention if they're out of stock. They were on holiday taking pre orders for this card before they came back.

You also need to consider why you want to buy an accelerator. I've recently been exploring the gradient fill options in Deluxe Paint 4.5 on my Amiga A1200 with 2Mb upgrade card in the PCMCIA slot. This is like a basic type of raytracing, with some fairly impressive results.

I hope to transfer my Amiga artwork onto other devices soon, then set up a website of it.

PCMCIA RAM in an A1200 does not accelerate it, quite the opposite.
Its a Decelerator :)


I never said that my 2Mb PCMCIA RAM card was an accelerator, but obviously accelerator cards for the A1200 usually contain extra RAM. I was asking what this user wanted to do with an accelerator card and/or extra RAM.
