I've run it on an 030.  Works fine, though slower than an 040 or 060.  But a 50MHz 030 runs it well enough.

One more thing... the accelerator matters.  I always loved my GVP A530 Turbo, but my Derringer kicks its ass though I miss SCSI.  My A500+ system was accelerated by a 40MHz Derringer (now 50MHz,) 32MB, and a GVP A500+ SCSI controller.  Worked (and still works) like a peach.

I imagine it'll work decent on mine then


If you're talking about this machine:

   Amiga 1200. 4 gig CF hard drive. 030/56 with 64 meg RAM. 3.1 ROMs. And she's online!

I imagine you'll be satisfied.  If you're just running AGA (no RTG video,) you'll want to hunt around (or ask, really -- I think a FAQ or a good thread would suffice) for a number of enhancements.  Primarily, move everything you can out of Chip RAM, and some other speed-ups.  FBlit was a good one, but I think that's supplanted by some of the more recent library redevelopments.

I can't recall all of the patches I used on my 4000, but I am sure I only commented them out of s-s for future reference.  I'll have a look-see next week when I fire her back up to finish my USB installation :)
