You said your '030 accelerator can't address more than 8 MiB of RAM. Some accelerators will address memory independently of the internal bus of the A1200 and can therefore access more than 8 Megs while still allowing the use of the PCMCIA slot.
I've got a 64-Meg SIMM card waiting to go into my Blizzard 1230. The ACA series of '030 cards are even better in some ways since they use faster memory that comes built-in to the accelerator. They come with 64 Megs hard-wired to the accelerator.
