I dont agree at all. Sure, not everything can be 'checked' by random Amiga users and Im sure thats where Amigakit can step in, but just for testing an accelerator you can and should depend on your local community.. And Im sure there is someone around in the Munich area that can help you.

I'm afraid replacing the accelerator in an A1200 Micronik Tower with a Blizzard PPC installed connected to a BVision PPC is a pain and not something that is easily done. As far as I remember it means to disassemble almost every part... and yeah, that would give me a heart attack...

TBH, its not that hard. Ive done this at least a 100 times. You just need to disconnect the VGA cable from the bvision, then take the ppc card out with the bvision attached, and plug the other accelerator in, connect it with rf-out to a tv and boot with no startup-sequence. its done in 5 minutes max.

BTW Munich is an awesome city, I was there last year and there, inside the museum of technology, was a commodore 64 on display. made my day :)
