The Power Tower was made by Elbox.
The model is discontinued now but they have replaced it with other models.

Wonderful! That'd explain why I couldn't find it, then :P Any other suggestions for upgrades?

Thanks again, Amigaz.


Depends on what you want to use your Amiga for...games? websurfing etc?  :-)

Guess you don't need any PCI busboard then.
I would try and get my hands on a Blizzard 1230 MKIV turbocard  and put at least 32mb fast ram on it.

Does your Amiga have 3.1 roms?

The version number is on the insert disk boot screen when you turn the machine on.
I would recommend installing 3.1 roms in your machine

If you run OS4 you'll have to run games and such in UAE since you cannot use the AGA chipset.

Ehh..have to confess I'm in the same "gang" as you guys...started off buying an A600 6 years ago just play some games I hadn't played since I sold my Amiga 500 in 1993.
But then I discovered the other Amiga models I heard about back in the old days which I couldn't afford back then...my signature shows what I ended up with.
I also started liking the idea of being able to use an Amiga for websurfing and such.
So spedning alot of dough on Amiga stuff is nothing to be ashamed of..we have other people on this forum which have spent alot and I mean ALOT...no names mentioned  :-D

As said in another A1200 accelerator thread..the '030 CPU has better compability with both whdload installed games and standard games.
