Yeah, that's the board I use to have in my A1200.  50mhz 030 and 50mhz fpu.  I believe it worked with EDO.  Had lots of different RAM though the thing.  Back then 2meg was expensive.  So I probably had a 2, 4, 8, and I think the largest I ever could afford was 16mrg.  Everything I threw at it worked.   There was a little program that had to be run at startup to get the RAM to be recognized with 3.0 rom.  Believe once I had the 3.1 rom it did this automagically :)

Totally rock solid and FAST!  Well, for a 50mhz 030 anyway.  

I'd buy one again if I had an A1200.
A3000D (16mhz, 2MB Chip, 4MB Fast, SCSI (300+MB), SuperGen Genlock, Kick 3.1)
Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.
