I'll guess you got nothing in the trapdoor-slot underneath the A1200 ?

Well you'l need some card to put into there  ;-)

Starts with pure memory-boards (mostly 4MB) and ends with a combined 68060/PPC/SCSI-cards carrying up to 256MB  :-o

For running WHDLoad games a mid-class 68030 with atleast 8MB should do the trick.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

An 8MB card should be sufficiant or if you want something with a little more oomph, a simple accelerator (FPU only or 030) if you can afford it.

 Right now I'm the working to make a simple memory expansion to the A1200 (soon as the "Tabajara 1.01" is finished*). Using only a regular, ordinary, inexpensive and standard 72pin SIMM. :hammer:

 * Tabajara 1.01 is a self-made A601 (lacking the RTC)

Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.
