Will there be an ACA1240 or ACA1260?

So is the output of the FPGAreplay then is the same quality as a classic Amiga and not like the emulator (pixelated and stuff like that)?

Pixelated graphics is because of the monitor. If you plug your Amiga into a modern monitor then it will look bad. If you plug your PC into a 1084ST then it will look like an Amiga did.
 
While an FPGAReplay is cool, it's not worth buying one just because you think emulators are bad because of pixelated graphics.
 
I don't plug my Amiga into my TV because of that, I won't even plug a PlayStation into it.

Has anyone ever heard of a Blizzard 1260 with a socketed 040 CPU? Seen mention of this in at least one thread on here and someone is offering me his Blizzard 1260 with a 40MHz 68040.
 
So is this some sort of hybrid or did someone downgrade it to a 1240? Seller said all I'd have to do is add a 68060 socket.

If it's got an 040 on it then it's a 1240. The only difference between the 1240 and the 1260 is the processor and power regulator.

According to this site http://g-mb.de/P5Rework.html#B12x0 some of the cards came with socketed processors. So it sounds like it could just be a 1240 to me.
 
It's possible that it started as a 1260 and it got downgraded because it got repaired with whatever parts they had, or someone wanted an 040 over an 060. But if it's only got the 040 socket, then only pay 1240 prices for it because that is essentially what it is.

BTW: This guy seems to have a 1260 with 040 CPU, as well.

he goes on to refer to it as a 1240 "They simply do not with the Blizzard 1240 (68040@40)... same configuration but... nothing! "
 
He also calls it a 1240 in his signature:
 
"A500 +A600 +A1000 +A1200 +CDTV
A500 +K3.0 +Viper520CD +
A1200T +K3.1 +Blizzard 603+ (240/50) +
A1200T +K3.1 +Blizzard 1240/40 +
A1200 +K3.1 +Blizzard 1230/50+CoPro +
A2000 +K3.1 +A2630 +
A3000 +K3.1 +Cyberstorm MkIII +
A4000 +K3.1 +A3630 +
A4000T +K3.1 +A3640 + "
 
The 68060 has an extra row of pins, so the socket will need to be changed (although online it suggests you can bodge I and just add the extra pins). You need a voltage regulator and there is a suggestion that some resistors or diodes need moving/changing.
 
Someone was doing the mods professionally a while back, I wouldn't even begin to think about doing that myself.

I hope I can easily remove the coolers though.
The seller placed two on there (one on top of the CPU and one below it) and I'm quite positive that I won't be able to keep it that way without towerizing my Amiga 1200.

I'd be interested in why they added the coolers.
