A1200 motherboard revisions
« on: October 09, 2007, 04:30:28 PM »
My current A1200 motherboard has a blown parallel port and PCMCIA (given to me that way).  I think that I'm about to order a new or refurbished A1200 motherboard from AmigaKit.  I understand that there are mb revisions that should be avoided, but don't know which ones.

Appearently, there are also different clockport configurations.  I intend to connect a Delfina Flipper to this (already have it).

I have already gathered the following upgrades/accessories.

ScanMagic/FlickerMagic
4xEIDE and EIDE'99 software
Lyra 1200  (may not use)

I will be looking for an 030 accelerator that takes 128MB of ram.

I would appreciate the sage advice of those who have been down this road already.

Thanks guys!  The purpose of this machine is to get maximum compatibility and AGA graphics (I already have graphic cards on other machines).

Any recommendations on specific accelerator cards that allow 128 Megs of fast ram?  68030 is plenty of power for me.

I recently read a disturbing thread from Amiga4001.  It seemed he had trouble with Delphina sound cards working in A1200s.  I had trouble understanding the specifics and haven't heard back from him.

So, does anyone have a Delfina, especially a Flipper version, working in a 1200?

I now hear that there is a list of incompatible accelerators with the Flipper (compiled by Jens).  Timing issues would make sense to me.
