I'd recommend against using PCMCIA SRAM as Ram expansion on an A1200.

It slows the whole machine down because it has a less wide bus.

And if you are partial to 3D games, flight-sims etc, quite often the patcher will manage to let the game use fast memory and caches, so that the game runs more smoothly than it ever did on the original hardware. Which means that some of those games that crawled on an A500, suddenly come into their own over a decade later. Its almost like a new game has been released - or liberated.  

How cool is that?!   :)


That and stuff like Frontier and Elite simply flies when you give it a 68030 at 50MHz to play with :-)
