I can't help with everything but here goes:

As far as processor and memory goes there are two* possible upgrade paths: You could get a 68060 accelerator for more speed or a PPC/68K card for even more speed (but less apps use it).

Both are expensive and can be hard to find.

*) not counting vaporware.

I'm not fully familiar with the Z4 board, but unless I'm mistaken it's a proprietary expansion standard so I'd be wary of using those. PCI slots are probably a better bet. You could also add USB devices via a Subway (IIRC) or similar device.

However: I'm pretty sure* you cannot use an AGP or PCI/Express card in a Classic Amiga at this time. You might be able to find a PCI card, but they do not have comparable performance to the AGP/PCI Express ones.

*) 95%

Hope this helps a bit!

Hi and thanks for your reply.

I will check out the PPC options and see what (if anything) is available.

What is the Mediator board and how does this fit in to the big picture of things ?

Also, can I get my 1200 to a similar (or better) spec than an A4000 030 ?

Thanks

Yes you can, altough if you want the same ammount of expansion possibility you'll need to get a card like the Mediator for more slots.

CPU/RAM wise there is no problem meeting or beating a A4000/30.
