Thanks - yeah that is very true.....I guess my main question is with regards to the expansion card......I have another one in my main A1200 that is totally unbranded, and now there is this one......not sure which is best......or just get a new accelerator instead.


Neither pictured are accelerator cards in the traditional processor sense, but the Fast RAM is nice to have on a modest A1200 system. If you're gonna keep 'em, may as well stick 881's or 882's (preferred) in there for the heck of it.

To answer your question about replacing with a traditional accelerator (such as an 030 or better based one with RAM), you'll have to spill the beans on just what it is you plan on doing with these machines. WHDLoad, Raytracing, painting, etc. 4 A1200's, really?  :lol:

I think one with an 030 card and a 2.5" HD (or CF<>IDE) would suffice and keep another as a spare maybe. Pretty much what I do in case of "emergency".  lol

Yeah, just be sure to get the oscillator with it too and install properly. For $36, I'd think that thing should come with the oscillator, but that's the bargain basement bastard in me talking ;)

I hear that! Never passed up a free or dirt cheap Miggy myself. Ever.  :lol:
