Towerized A1200 vs. A4000D/T
« on: January 28, 2011, 03:45:04 AM »
If the processors are the same (either 040 or 060) are there really any major differences between a towerized A1200 (with Zorro slots, of course) and an A4000D/T?

OK, all kidding aside, I know there are several bottle necks that keep the A1200 from being as fast as a A4000D/T.  Most of these are over my head unfortunantly so hopefully some one else will chime in and give some refined details.

Advantages of each setup

A1200 towered w/ micronik z3 busboard+video slot enabler, and an accelerator(that has besides a 040@25mhz, 16MB ram and a rtc), to activate the busboard

-Comes with a clockport by default
-Composite and RF output built-in
-Pcmcia slot
-3 useless pci slots
-external floppy connector



A4000T

-Zorro III can have proper DMA
-Bus speed is higher
-Ide interface is buffered for lowest PIO modes
-1 extra video slot (the A4000T has two)
-High Density floppy drive
-Stereo jack audio output

Thanks for the info.  There are no Zorro III busboards for the A1200?
