rough prices for a1200 accelerators ?
« on: January 13, 2011, 01:03:59 PM »
Now I know there's no absolute answers here and Ive seen massive variations, but I was wondering if anyone who's still heavily involved in the classic amiga scene can give me a rough idea of prices of a1200 accelerators ?  Im broke from now until the end of time, but I do have a birthday coming up soon and would love to upgrade my soon to arrive stock a1200 as much as possible, but before I start putting in my order for gifts with my family I'd like to know what sort of prices the gifts Im going to request have. I have literally hundreds of 72pin simms of various sizes, so Im only really interested in the value of accelerators. Ideally I'd like to start at '030, but hopefully '040 or even '060 isnt out of my reach (assuming I can find one).

Thanks in advance.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

I guess the reason Im leaning towards something faster is that my last 2 a1200 accelerator cards where a 50mhz blizzard mk4 and a bppc (25mhz '040/175mhz 603e), so I know I probably wont be content with anything below a 50mhz '030, and even then Id prefer something a little faster. I have no interest in ppc these days, but Id like to get the best card possible while I have the chance rather than using something temporarily only to want to upgrade it a little later.

That said however, thanks for the responses and I suspect I'll end up with an ACA card if I can find nothing else before it comes time to make the purchase (I have about 3 weeks). Any extra money could always be put towards some other form of expansion if it comes to that as well I suppose.
