Is it unadvisable to use a Blizzard A1260 (without SCSI module attached) in an Amiga 1200 that's not towered?
Thanks.

I have the same card and it gets bloody hot (the CPU)...no doubt about that. Depends what revision the 060 is. Mine is a revision 1, crappy mask job, also running at standard 50MHz.
I have the SCSI module as well to get the extra ram (256MB). You're concern is heat and that's understandable. You can run it in a wedge case even with SCSI module, but you'll need to fan cool the cpu. Although the cpu is designed to run as hot as a frying pan without a fan and without self destructing, it surely is desirable to cool it the best you can. This will increase the life of the cpu, the cpu card, and it will also mean less of a strain on the power supply and A1200 main board (more heat=more current drawn....which strains circuit traces).
