Well I have an ACA 1231/42MHz I had to do timing fix on my miggy but wasen't so hard then just a simple line in startup-sequence and all ran like a charm, so im happy with it even if I did not know I had to do timing fixes before I bought it it was quite easy to find out.

But sure, they should write when selling that some boards require timing fixes.
But it's fully understandable that some people do not want or can do the timing fixes.

Besides that I love my card and it runs great :D

No, the timing fixes referenced here are actual hardware fixes, which means that you have to do some soldering on your A1200 motherboard. It's not needed for _all_ A1200:s, but quite a lot of them seems to need this (and from what I've gathered, different MoBo revisions require different fixes). The ACATune software added to the startup-sequence will not fix any of these problems.

Wait what? I did not say that the ACATune software did fix any timing issue. Maybe I was to unclear in my phrasing.

What I wrote was that I had to do a timing fix which wasen't hard for me since I got no problems soldering (it was also quite easy to find info about this for different MB revs, my mb was a rev 2B board). Then I only had to install ACATune and add a line to my startup-sequence.

I had to do the rev 2B fix found here http://www.ianstedman.co.uk/Amiga/amiga_hacks/A1200_Mobo_fix/a1200_mobo_fix.html

Read what I wrote again. Two things, timing fix and add a startup-sequence line (for the ACAtune software).
