The Amiga 1200 is a 32-bit computer, so installing a 16-bit SRAM PCMCIA card will have an adverse effect on system performance.  

It is better to use a trapdoor expansion / accelerator which is 32-bit especially as many WHDLoad Slaves require higher performance than a stock A1200 can provide.  A good example is Chaos Engine AGA (WHDLoad) which unfortunately is very laggy on a vanilla A1200.

However, your advice would be valid for an unaccelerated A600 as this is a 16-bit system.

It is not a case of selling the items we have in stock- it is important to give factual and accurate advise to our customers. If we misrepresent a product, it will result in a product return which is not advantageous to anyone, so we are always careful to give valid answers.

I have re-read my reply and cannot see anywhere where I have "twisted" what you have said.
