A Blizzard 1260/50 Mhz can have up to 128 Mb according to The Big Book Of Hardware at this link but on http://amiga.resource.cx they say it can only handle 64 Mb on the 1260 and 128 Mb on the scsi controller .. was is true and what is not true ???  :-?

Thanks Brian, the add for that card is HERE and the fun thing about it is the title : Amiga 1200 phase5 Blizzard 1260 68060/70 MHz 32MB Turbo
Who wouldn´t be interested in such a turbo thing ?! 70 Mhz with only minor cooling !!  :-o No, it is not mine that I sell but somebody else called Lord_Spider ... had a few mails with him to ask why he said 64 Mb and not 128 Mb ...

In other words, as Mendark said, double sided 128 Mb Simms CAN work if they are thin enough.That gives a better perspective on future upgrades  :-) Thinking about start saving a bit of money then  :lol:

I bought two 128 Mb EDO modules in the US on Ebay but I am told they only will work for sure in a HP server and not on normal pc´s. Is this true ???  :-?
