Apollo 060 or Blizzard 1260?
« on: April 21, 2008, 07:48:25 PM »
I was thinking of buying an accelerator for my A1200.
Which is best...Apollo 060 or Blizzard 1260 both are 50MHz?

I already have a GVP1230 Turbo+ 40 installed. Will I notice much of a difference going to an 060? Or should I put my hard earned $$$ somewhere else :-?

Many thanks.

Many mahalos.
Sorry for the dumb question...I'm just getting back into the Amiga fold.....but if I get the Apollo with no SCSI interface, how do I attach SCSI devices?
My 1200 is an HD model.
Told you it was dumb  :-)

Many mahalos guys.

I think I will bid on the Apollo.
I've already got a Dataflyer XD so that takes care of my HD needs.
But the IDE-Fix Express sounds like a useful option for my future CDRW purchase.
Does $400 or so sound about right for an Apollo?

$400 is an "OK" price, maybe a bit high. Just make sure the 68060 is a full 50 MHz part (I believe some 75 MHz "LC" models exist).



Mahalo -D-.
I guess I now own an Apollo 060 with 32meg :)
Paid $330 for it...so seems like a fair deal.
Now I gotta get the black paint and get this baby going.

Well I got the board but I can't get it to work.
Nubee question........Does it need drivers?
Also my board has a barrel battery which won't allow me to close the trap door.
I have not seen this before.
See the picture here....link
mahalo for the help guys  :-)
Aloha!
