Hello Greg,

  GG> That Amiga 1200 is sounding really nice.

I miss mine a lot.  I had an expansion card with a 4Mb 32- bit 72-pin SIMM (together with the 2Mb soldered on the A1200 mainboard this made 6Mb, which was plenty :-)  And a 68882 floating-point math chip.  My friend Nigel fitted his with a Blizzard accellerator that with 50 MHz 68030 & 68882 and additional RAM - very nice machines.

As far as I know SRAM cards up to 4Mb could go in there.  I used a Squirrel SCSI adaptor with an external SCSI CD-ROM drive.  I think some accellerator boards have SCSI built in, freeing up the PC-Card slot for something else.
