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.
