Doesn’t matter. Have had these cards. They accept EDO or FPM. You just set the jumpers to what you want. Remember if using more than 4MB then your PCMCIA slot will no longer work.

You've had "these cards"? Do you mean this model of Amitek Hawk accelerator board, or are you assuming that all other Amiga A1200 accelerators from around 1993 use compatible RAM?

Your message says that EDO is OK. As for FPM, I didn't ask about that.

I've just found out from https://www.computerlanguage.com/results.php?definition=FPM+RAM#:~:text=Also%20known%20as%20%22fast%20page,technologies%20followed%20page%20mode%20memory. that FPM  isn't EDO, SDRAM, DDR, or RDRAM. What about non parity and non ECC? Are they compatible? Of course, they're not mentioned in the PDF of the manual.

From the part of your message, so long as you're talking specifically about this Amitek Hawk accelerator board, then if I buy a 72 pin 8Mb EDO SIMM, that will be compatible. This means that I'll have to buy an EDO SIMM unless you can supply more details.
 

I have had a few Amitek Hawk boards. Have placed 4MB and 8MB 72 pin EDO SIMMs and they worked for me.
