Ram expansion for 1200

[maff20]

does anyone know what a fair price would be for a ram expansion card for the 1200, im not convinced that the few that are on ebay are worth the money.
Why are they so hard to find? did no-one buy them when they were in production??  :-?   :boohoo:

i had asked the question in another post "will an accelerator be worthwhile for whdload" and the general consensus was that it wasnt. so now you guys are saying it is worthwhile?
based on that then, what is the reccommended kind of accelerator for running OS3.9? if im going to go for one of these bad boys i might as well go the whole hog and install a decent OS(not that classic WB isnt decent).
my only concern is if i get an accelerator il end up getting various other stuff and spend a good chunk of my life trying to set it all up properly  :-?  :crazy:  :-D

now its off to sell all my belongings for a blizzard

regardless of there only being a small amount of games that use an accelerator i wouldnt mind getting into Amiga OS as well, it feels a wee bitty like your saying that unless i am going to use the card to run serious apps and develop new software, i shouldnt be allowed to own one as there are other people who need them. well, heres my view on that. I am only getting into amigas again after a long break away from them and although i havent "developed software" or run any "serious apps" yet, theres nothing to say that i wont get into that - and at the end of the day, if theres no one new getting into the scene, then who is there to develop software for anyway??
so rather than accuse me of "wasting" a card, how about a little encouragement about getting into the scene?
also, if i was only to get a blizzard running at 30mhz, im pretty sure thats not the optimal platform to be developing software on anyway

no one accused you of being a lier, whats your beef? i asked a simple enough question to which your attitude seemed a little off. im sure people do use 030 cards to develop some software, but like my first answer - why should i not be allowed one and it presumed that i will never do such a thing?
anyway, handbags aside, thankyou to the rest of you that have tried to answer my question, ive seen a couple of 030's go on ebay for around £120 wich seems a bit steep if i can get away with running OS3.9 on 8mb fast ram then il probably try to get a ram expansion card for the time being.

thanks all
