ACA 1220 or ACA 1232

[paul1981]

I have a stock A1200 from Petro and I plan to use it for whdload gaming and OS 3.5 / 3.9. Right now I have order and waiting for an external scandoubler. I will also need a memory expansion for running the games and I am between the two ACA , 1220 with 16.67MHz and 1232 with 33MHz. They both have 128MB Ram. Which one should I prefer ?

thank you for your time.

You'll need to do timing fixes, but it's easy to do. If in doubt, send your A1200 to Amigakit and they'll do it for you, and also install the ACA card at the same time.
I'd get the 1232 personally, as you should always get the best you can afford.

Never heard about time fixing before! Both cards may require time fixing or only the 1232 ?

You can read all about the fixes here:

The later A1200 motherboard revisions need fixes, and being as though the machines for sale by Petro are the last Amiga's ever built, I'm pretty sure they'll need a fix (for most accelerator cards at least, certainly including the ACA1232 because I had to do this myself to get my 1232 to work correctly).
