Apollos are nice boards, but Amiga technologies A1200 wount't work without timing fixes

http://www.ianstedman.co.uk/Amiga/amiga_hacks/A1200_Mobo_fix/a1200_mobo_fix.html

I've also 2 A1200 computers, rev 1d4 and 2b, both works with timing fixed made. Without them only 1d4 worked and only with 3.0 roms.

You should open your amigas and check revisions, also you might want to add bigger harddrive.

040/060 accelerators works without drivers, problem is FPU wich doesn,t work without correct libraries.

Apollos has also faster (unstandard) chip ram access wich means that many games and demos works much faster with 040/060 apollos than any other accelerators. That is nice feature because A1200 is old and thats why quite underpowered computer, so every frame more per second is important.

Amikit has a repar service wich can do timing fixes? It shouldn't cost much.

I've excatly same card, it is good that it games with working sim. It could be a problem to find working one.

It requires fan all the time, to keep it cool.

RemApollo is something that you should try out, it is like blizkick but for apollo boards
