So I hate to be on-topic and all...


While a 3000 or 4000 is very expandable, it'll also cost him at least 200 bucks extra (and thats aiming low). Throw in a ton of money to get upgrades for it.

He already stated he wanted to expand his 1200, so why not point him in the right directions there? :)
Especially if he's on a budget


I made a wee list up at the beginning of the thread on what RedNova should be looking to buy if he really wants to expand his A1200... :)

But we really need to know what he aims to do with it in order to advise him on the best way to go... :)

Welcome to the club Frank! :)


Water of a ducks back mate... ;)

@Rednova

From what you've described what you want to do with your A1200 then the GVP030 board you have should fit the bill just nicely (though you can't expand it memorywise beyond 32MB, I've only got 4MB on mine and it served me well for years)... :)

If you really want a lot of memory then the Blizzard060 can go to 128MB or the BlizzardPPC/060 can go to 256MB, I have both and I honestly couldn't do without them for the stuff I do on my Amigas... :)

I'd say the best upgrades you can add to your machine are the SubWay USB Device and a FastATA MKIII Buffered IDE Board. The FastATA will allow you to add an external DVD/CD Re-Writer which is really handy for backing things up/ storing data or transferring stuff to and from a PC to the Amiga.

The SubWay USB is also great for transferring stuff just buy a cheap multi card reader and you can you any kind of cards you want (SD,CF,MemoryStick etc..) back and forth between computer or other devices. I would say don't buy a CD ROM (let alone a CD or DVD writer) to try and use with the SubWay as even though it can handle USB 2 devices it can only cope with USB 1.1 speeds and is no good for trying to burn disks... :)

Hopefully from all the advise you've got from everyone you'll be able to make you decisions now on what you want to do... :)

PS:Sorry for the ruckus caused in your thread, got a wee bit carried away and can only apologise for it... :)
