That quoted post was totally useless, here's a guy who is asking what be could do with his 300 bucks and you come on here to an Amiga fan based webste and basically say everything Amiga related is s**t. Opinion respected (just) but wrong.

I would get a Mediator, that way you can get noticeable PCI performance upgrades at affordable prices. On top of that you still have a 'Real' Amiga, not a SAM or anything of that sort. $300 Won't get you far towards a SAM even if you sell off all your gear.

6. Something else

Get your 1240 upgraded to an 80MHz 1260. If it is an Apollo get a second SIMM socket too. Will cost far less than $300 and it will make it fly. Plus it opens a world of 68060 only games & demos.

Get the SCSI module for your 1240 and an SCSI->IDE adapter ($30) this will unload the CPU for disk activity and make it a whole heap faster.

If you don't already use SFS switch to it or buy PFS3 either one will make hard disk access MUCH faster than standard FFS.

I second that, or better sell your 040 and put it towards a top flyte 68060 card.
