Scott,
You can add up to eight megs of RAM to a standard A1200 via its belly
slot. The type of RAM used is, I imagine, up to the company making the
expansion board. MicroBotics' MBX 1200, as far as I know the only A1200
RAM board currently on the market, uses the same SIMMs as the A4000 (and
lots of PCs).
With an accelerator board you also gain full 32-bit memory addressing.
GVP has just announced an A1200 accelerator; this board features a 40 mHz
68030 (it may be a 68EC030…not sure) and can accept up to 32 megs of
RAM. If GVP's accelerator uses a proper '030, not the EC variety, then
it'll work with the various virtual memory utilities.
