Truesay. Also, the A1200 PCMCIA slot should be kept free for more useful expansions.

My advice was to purchase a 8MB trapdoor RAM expansion, or at least a 4MB one, which will be sufficient for most WHDLoad games, but if more RAM is needed a 2-4MB SRAM card can be used as well, when it's needed.

I can understand that you're only trying to sell the products you have in stock, but there's no need to attempt to prove my advice wrong by twisting around what I said.


I don't amigakit was twisting your advice, he was simply pointing out that installing RAM in the PCMCIA slot of an A1200 is not really a good idea as it is significantly slower than trapdoor memory.

For most WHDload titles, 4MB in the trapdoor ought to be enough, leaving the 4MB PCMCIA space free for other expansions that would be more useful perhaps than a slow RAM expansion.
