I'm trying to insert a new GVP-M Typhoon 32MB accelerator card into my A1200 via the bottom expansion door and am having problem fitting it in. I was able to connect it to the expansion port, but it looks like the card is too thick and I'm not able to close the bottom door. The SIMM card module protrudes about 1mm outside of the window. The card is sitting on top of the plastic guards that are inside of the expansion door.
I see that many of you here have the same card. Did you also have problems fitting it in? How did you fix it?
Here's the card for your reference.

Thank you.
I am sure I have seen other users post the same issue. I did a search but could'nt find anything.
You might have to take the top off and the keyboard for easier access. Thicker cards are hard to slot in. The benefit though is once they are in they don't move about.
I'm sure someone who has bought one can offer some advice. Bump....
