A quick A1200 Q

[StevenJGore]

Is there anything sucky about the EC'020's?

Nothing that separates the Commodore A1200's from the AT A1200's. Obviously, full 68020 processors would have been more ideal because the 68EC020 only has a 24-bit address bus, rather than the 32-bit address bus of the full 68020, and a 68EC020 can only address 16Mb of memory... so I guess from those points-of-view the 68EC020's are sucky! But then how many true Amigans are running A1200's with just their stock processors?  :-)

Only the fact that MMU & FPU functions are missing!

The 68020 doesn't have any MMU or FPU functions, in either the full or economy versions. The 68030 was the first to have a MMU, of which the 68EC030 was lacking an MMU.

Me!

Well, not really. It's a secondary machine and I'm just waiting for the right upgrade to wander along.
And techinically, I'm not even running it right now. It's missing, ironically enough, a floppy drive!


As to the issue at hand, I'd check what revision motherboard each machine has before making a decision on selling.
