Re: Magnum Turbo 1230 Mk2 for A1200

I have owned two Magnum cards, both were 040s though.  They both performed superbly for years.  The first one I traded for a Blizzard 060 (sneakily done by Analogic, the price certainly didn't mention a trade-in).  The last one I thought was knackered, but recently I dug it out, unseated the chips and scrubbed inside and out with a toothbrush and away it went!  It's now installed in my 3rd best setup.

Things to note - (for the 040 version at least...)

PCMCIA works fine, I have an Alpha-Data CD-Rom controller attatched.  

It may only take max 32MB Ram, double sided is OK, but only quite narrow ones.  

It may need Magnum specific software.
