Hi

I've just bought an awaiting delivery of a Blizzard A1230 IV board for my A1200.

The board is comming with a 16MB SIMM but I also have a 32MB EDO 60ns SIMM that I would like to use in it instead. Will this work and will it take advantage of it.

Also, with more than 4MB RAM installed, is the 1230 IV PCMCIA friendly?

thanks

The 1230-IV is the best accel ever made for the A1200. Perfect in every way... except that's it's only 030 :-)

I run mine with a 60ns 32Meg EDO simm (Make sure you set the 60ns jumper :-D)

For my uses the 030 is the best, it has internal MMU and full 68882 FPU (on the card).

I had one of these boards on my old amiga and it flew. On my current expansion card (no CPU, just RAM expansion) the 32MB SIMM causes aexplorer to crash but I expect that's because Amiga's like FPM RAM. Still if this card uses EDO then great! What sport of speed boost is there in using EDO?

It'll be interesting to see where the 32-bit memory from the SIMM is mapped into the 030's address space.

EDO has no speed improvement, the card was not designed to make use of it.
