Yes, the Blizzard 1230-IV is the best accelerator you can buy for
A1200. It is extremely compatible and a good all-rounder.


While it's a great card, and probably the best 030 accellerator for the A1200, it doesn't come close to the performance of the Blizzard 1260.  I'd say the BlizzardPPC 060/603+ would be the very best, but since it's nearly impossible to run one of those in a standard case I'd say the 1260 is the best.

The manual will say it can take 256Mb unlike the 192Mb a Blizzard 1260
can take.


The 1260 (with SCSI IV) can take 256M just like the 1230IV.

As mentioned, the double sided memory is a tight fit.  And, the accellerator won't take advantage of EDO.  But, it should work.  (You may however find that you don't need more than the 16M).  A wonderful program to get is BlizKick.  This allows much more flexability than the normal maprom.
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(
