New A1200 - what is all this stuff?

[Franko]

This is the board you've got here...

Magnum 8 RAM Board

The max speed for the 68882 FPU on it is 40Mhz...

As Save2600 says you'd be better keeping that one and adding the FPU to it than using your "plain" RAM card...

That'll speed up any progs/utils that have specific FPU versions written for them like PPaint, Final Writer, PageStream etc...

I take that was the stuff we talked about a while back, told you it was well worth the money, jammy git, wish I could come across a bargain like that...

[Franko]

it is indeed the stuff we talked about

I guess I need that cap for the FPU swell? Is that a solder job?

Also I think I have an Apple external SCSI CD drive think it will work? I guess they are all the same

Nah... no soldering for the FPU or the crystal, they just plug in (you can usually find em on eBay cheaply)...

The CD might work, but then again it might not (the Miggie can be quite fussy when it come to CD/DVD drives, especially newer ones)...

(Still say you're a jammy git though... )
