Which is the best '030 accelerator for A1200

[kirk_m]

In you opinion, which Blizzard 1230 model is was the best one they made?  I know I can get an 040 or an 060 as well, but, I haven't gotten my 1200 recapped yet, and, I have been lead to believe that if you wish to add that kind of power to an old 1200, you'll need to recap the amiga first.

Thanks!

I will answer this question best I can:

CHEAP and working.



Why? No matter what you put into your A1200 (as far as 030), it is going to be painfully slow e.g. loading 640x480 picture in 256 colors take soooooooooome time. OK. To be more serious... there are differences between 030, but I would not care about it.

Would you say that iComp's 1233 accelerator with a 55 MHz cpu would be not so good of a choice, and finding an 040 is better?

Jen's 030 boards were so much cheaper in the past.  He must be paying through the nose for them or something.  Maybe it's time he started looking at FPGA soft cores too.

Are they not so good, though?  I'm not so worried about the price, as I'd rather pay for something BRAND NEW than a 20 year old card, if the NEW product is just as good/better.
