Advice: BPPC to Stockish A1200
« on: January 27, 2013, 07:02:25 PM »
Hi guys,
 
About 6 year's ago I had my pride and joy, my power tower A1200,  mediator, Bppc060/240 setup. But fell on a few hard times and I needed  to get rid of a few bits.  So the BPPC and Bvision was the first thing  to go, tho I knew I would regret it later on. So once I got myself back  on my feet, I decided to try out MorphOS and tho I'm happy ish with it.   So i set up fab's great e-uae and got it all working like I wanted but  still felt like a empty shell.  
 
So  last week I finally dug out my PT Amiga and fitted it all back into  its desktop case and found a few other bits I had lying about like a 8mb  memory expansion board. Switched it on and instantly felt the love  so I downgraded my OS3.9 to 3.1, fitted an internal cd drive got  everything working and installed fired up whdload and got a dos error on  every game. so changed the jumpers on the memory expansion down to 4  megs and worked fine. So now one happy little camper so to say!  
 
But I've looking at making my Amiga wireless, More for the sake off  something I always wanted to do but never got around too even in the ppc  form. So as my system is pretty stock I was looking at getting an  accelerator for it. So main things I'll be doing on the internet with my  Amiga is simply emails and aminet and uploading images to photobucket  etc.  
 
So seeing accelerators are at a premium these days, I saw the ACA1232 on  amigakit and I was wondering would this be a good option for what I  need for now? as it's for the internet things above, whdload,  soundtracker and general just messing about!  I did think about going  down the PPC lines again but the cost involved and the pay off on  usefulness isn't worth it to myself so I think the goal this time once  I'm sorted is to go 060. So if any members on here can offer advice or  tell me what there views/experience on the ACA1232 is I'd be happy.

I think I'd stay clear of the ACA... no FPU.

I'd go Blizzard 1230/50 or 1260...

I also had the 240PPC/060/G-REX and sold a long time ago. I actually regret selling the PAWS more than the PPC though.

Now I have a desktop A1200, not a Darth Vader.
