What is the best addon board for this slot?

If you count actually existing hardware and not vapor products:

Blizzard PPC 603p@240MHz + 68060@50MHz with SCSI. 2 x 128MB SIMMS.

If you need PCI, then GRex or Mediator board + PCI Voodoo card. If no PCI is needed, BlizzardVisionPPC card that plugs to BPPC.

I guess that's the best you can get, and yes, it is very expensive. You probably also need to towerize the A1200 for all that.

If you don't need PPC, PCI, GfxCard or other fancy stuff, Blizzard 1260 is a very good card. It also works nicely in a desktop A1200.

Well, my ex-A1200-tower isn't empty, it's housing my 2nd Pegasos. :-)

A1200, BPPC, BVisionPPC, 2 x SCSIDE, PCMCIA NIC etc are packed away. No room for 5th machine around here, and it had sat there unused for over a year anyway.
