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)
