ACA 1232 Accelerator with 128MB RAM

mr moonlight, if I were you Id get a Blizzard, Apollo, Gvp, or some other 030 cpu that is known working no problem, so you probably wont need "timing fixes" as with the ACA boards.

The timing fixes are an issue with the A1200 motherboard :-) Those other cards also show signs/faults.

.

I have run the following board with ZERO problems on many rev a1200s with no "timing fixes"

Blizzard 030
blizz 060
Apolllo mk3 030
Dkb cobra 030
Gvp 030
Ematrix 030
Magnum 030
etc etc

As for the timing fixes with non ACA cards, the problem is not a new one and not unique to the ACA series. Not all A1200 motherboard revisions require the fix, so that's why a lot of people never needed the fix to begin with (back in the 90's for example). AFAIK it's only the 1D4 and 2B motherboard revisions that require these fixes, and yes, even non ACA cards (not ram expansions) will require the fix as well in order to work correctly.

That is not 100% factual.

Yeah a lot of ppl repeat information the see elsewhere posted on the internet. Its kind of funny how nobody needed "fixes" until these ACA cards came along..

Yes not even close to 100% actually. The point was is I know many a1200s running for years now with all kinds of diff cpu cards. This whole "timing fix" thing really became popular with the introduction of these aca boards afaik
