wow, some of you really have no clue. I cant believe what Im reading here. If you have decided to stick with a classic Amiga and you want to stick with your a1200, the ppc+68k route is definitely worth it. If you can afford it, ofcourse, and have plenty of time to set the machine up right. When you succeed you'll find it is the ultimate expansion for your a1200, bringing you the best of both worlds: full 68k compatibility, down to standard aga 020 by the press of a key on boot, aswell as easy RTG graphics by means of the bvision and with that, a fairly modern OS running natively on your ppc cpu. If you set it up as a dual/triple boot system, it gets even better! Fastest ppc card for a1200 was the 240mhz + 060 version. But these days its quite common to find 330mhz versions, too. Keep an eye out on Amibay, read up on my old threads, be prepared for quite some work/frustrations, but if you feel this is the way to go for you, by all means, DO IT.

Now why haven't I heard or seen anyone doing that to an A1200? I never even KNEW that a CSPPC could fit onto an A1200!! :shocked:

again, you are missing the point. for a plain a1200, what other option do you have to get RTG graphics and access to OS4?

..well, at least Karlos understands the importance of adding RTG to an a1200 system. I guess if you just want to play games the ppc+bvision is overkill. And yes, OS4 is personal preference.

@Bamiga2002, I dont think Im going to get a csppc, I already have a bppc thankfully :) But you never know.
