I'd look at:

Hard drive of some sort. Compact Flash card adapter for the IDE slot is a very easy and nice option.

Some accelerator card. A nice 030 won't be too too expensive. You'll want at the very least some fast RAM to get most out of her.

Networking or a compact flash adapter through the PCMCIA slot makes transferring files extremely easy.

It's worth upgrading the ROMs to 3.1 too, though it's not a huge deal.


Enjoy! The 1200 is an amazing machine.My candidate for one of the best computers ever made.

A decent 68030 card will probably run you between 150 and 200 dollars. If you have a RAM expansion already, I'd play with it first and get a feel for what she can and can't do.

That new 020 card looks cool too for the price.
