Jim, I am just leaving to get my 1230XA. This board will probably be what you need unless, as Bob said, you need SCSI as well. Actually the 12 Guage… at my last check, does not actually come with SCSI yet… it just has the expansion capability to add SCSI later… I'm told they are still working on the interface… The 1230XA at 50 Mhz will set you back about $359 mail order from Software Hut (Check July AW). Even though it says $399… say you saw it for less at Memory World (don't ever order from MW)… Software Hut will lower their price to $359 to compete. Unfortunately, I have a fear of mail order so I am paying more at my local dealer. Then, if you would like the co-processor (50Mhz 68882), that will set you back another $145 at Software Hut… this price includes the timing crystal which is necessary to set the speed of the FPU. Then, the RAM… a 4 meg board will set you back around $150… total? 1230XA $359 FPU $145 RAM $150 ——- 654 I am just getting the 030 and FPU today for a total of $549 with tax. I already have an 8 Meg SIMM on my 1200z. This 030 board has a built-in clock and MMU as well as being VERY FAST! In addition, you can place up to a 128MB SIMM on this board!!! That is more I could ever use! Yes, that is 128MB… the size usually associated with a hard drive! Well… good luck… I imagine that the 030 at 50 Mhz will approach the 4000 in speed comparisons… I can't wait… bye! JDSoftware Jonathan Schmidt – On AutoPilot from CompuServe Land
