Hi All,

Im a long term lurker here.

Lately I've been looking at the A1200 new-old stock at Amigakit.  I've always wanted a A1200 since I first saw my friends one in 1994 I would guess and I still got a slight itch to buy one.

My question is, is that a crazy idea to grab a A1200? I keep on thinking if its worth spending the money or if I would be still as happy with my A500 but from the perspective of building hardware for it.   (As a hobby I put together PIC/Atmel projects along with etching own PCB's).  

Another question I believe 030 & 060 accelerators are probably a must for the A1200 or else the experience might be a bit laggy.  Whats the speed difference between these two?  ie. 030 can satisfy you enough? 060 can you actually notice a speed improvement compared to the 030 or only when doing heavy number crunching tasks?


If you have an itch, the best thing to do is give it a scratch ;)
