Which Accelerator?
« on: December 15, 2010, 05:11:32 PM »
The competitors:
 
 
DCE Blizzard 1260 060/50MHz

vs
 
ACA 1230/56 Accelerator

What I am looking at doing is loading OS 3.9 on my Amiga 1200 system and am wondering which board do you think would be a better fit?
 
 
Amiga 1200 specs:
 
Amiga 1200 HD
OS 3.1 (kickstart 3.1 ROM)
120 GB hard drive
2 MB RAM
Wireless network card
Amiga 1200, 3.1 OS/ROM, 2 MB RAM, 120 GB hard drive, wireless NIC

Softhut also shows they have the Viper 1260 68060 50MHz, these pretty much the same as a DCE Blizzard?

I just received an Email from softhut and they confirmed that they do not have any Blizzards in stock (but they have Typhoons?).  
 
Oh well.  :(
