Hiya,

Working on putting together at least one working 1200 out of all these bits I've got laying around. ;) I've got a Cobra '030 acclerator. There's a socket for a chip that's empty. I'm guessing it's for an FPU? IS it a common enough part that I could find one to just drop in there? Or is it more involved than that?

Any idea how big a SIMM I can put on this guy? Maybe even a 32 megger? Would love to pimp this 1200 out as much as I can.

Thanks for help!


It will take a nice 64MB Simm from here for $15 AU : http://www.amigamaniac.com/ram_various.html

You will have to do a small mod to the socket to get it to click in place because of the closeness of the two rear chips to the edge connector as in this pic:
Tools required: Hobby knife and care.

As to the FPU I have no idea how hard they are to get hold of.
