Trade my Amiga 1200 USB Sub for Apollo 1240

You had better get an 060 for videos.

My 060/50 is just watchable with MPEG1 and RiVA.

a 66 or 80mhz 060 would probably do pretty well... You'll still need a high-powered PC to convert things to MPEG1...

I think he is planning on converting and watch in hamp, then a 030 card will be good enough for watching movies.
Also he do not need a high powered pc but it will take a lot longer time to convert on a old x86 CPU.

@AmigaClassicRules - keep in mind that a 040 runs really hot so no trapdoor and higher rubber feet is recommended if not towering the miggy.
A 060 and 030 runs cool tho.

Only the rare 71E41J mask 060 runs cool. Even then, people run them at higher than 50MHz...which basically means a heat sink or fan is then required.

Thanks for the clarifications, I have never owned a 060 card but what I have understood a 060 with heatsink was running cooler then the 040 :/

I am happy with my Apollo 1230, the Amiga can run all night and never gets hot

Great I have as you know been unlucky with heat in my A1200 but it was my Lisa chip and not my accelerators fault ^^ But hey I have fixed the heat problem and all runs nice 24/7 now

My Amiga 1200 trap door is 100% broken. So it have being thrown out the trash (the A1200 trapdoor) long time ago...and I have no intention of getting one when I am using 1240 apollo card.
 
Now it is just matter of saving money and getting one.

I hope you can get your hands on one, good luck

Are there any automated tools to convert things to HAM video? I would love to convert some clips for my minimig 1.1 but last time I looked at the process it was sort of manual involving many steps.

As far as I know there is no automatic process and still requires a few steps :/
