Exactly. Your A1200 upgrade path will go something like this:
1. Buy A1200.
2. Buy "cheap" fast RAM expansion, maybe with RTC.
3. Since fast RAM expansion only lets you use 4 MB at the same time as the PCMICIA slot, buy not-so-cheap accelerator ($300+).
4. Built-in IDE support is functional but sketchy. Buy bufferred IDE interface.
5. 15 KHz CRT dead. Buy Indivision (awesome kit).
Someone really needs to build and release an inexpensive 32-bit fast RAM expansion for the A1200. I think availability of the connectors themselves is the issue and not the lack of want or design knowledge.
