Nice! Soon, you'll be frustrated with the 1200z's choice of PCMCIA slot access or 8 megs of fast RAM, and you'll be in search of an accelerator.

That all depends on what you want to do with the 1200..
I had a 1200z, great RAM card.
I had 8M, but usually left it at 4M (Software toggle-able).
Worked great for WHDLOAD and the only thing I was using PCMCIA at the time was CF transfer, so it wasn't a big deal..

Then I wanted to get into networking, so I went with an accel/RAM card...

But the 1200 with the MBX1200z was great for games...

WHDLOAD license is worth it!  http://www.whdload.de  should be around $20-ish USD

Definitely agree here..
Although it's more like $30, but still very worth it..
Admittedly, I used the "unregistered" version for a year or so, because I'm so cheap.  ;-)  But even I registered it....  :banana:

There was also talk that an Amiga 1200 with a 3.0 ROM would work with PCMCIA and a full 8M...
I wasn't able to test it tho, because I got my ACA1230 about that time, but might be worth a shot..
