MBX 1200 Specifications FPU: Motorola 68881 (or 68882) math chip; PGA (Pin-Grid-Array) component. CPU Clock Speeds Supported: 16MHz 68881 installed as standard, clocked at 14.3MHz. Field upgradeable to up to 50MHz 68882. Target System: Amiga 1200 Personal Computer. Installation: Internal to Amiga 1200; resides on the 150-pin card edge connector. User or dealer installable. Compatibility: Designed for general compatibility with all Amiga system software including AmigaDOS system 3.0 and later versions. Memory Support: Supports the addition of a single, optional one, two, four or eight megabyte, 32 bit wide SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module). RAM operates with zero wait-states for maximum system speed. Memory SIMM Types: 72-pin "wide-body" SIMM organized N-megabytes x 32 bits. For example, MIcron MT8D25632 (one megabyte); MT16D51232 (two megabytes); MT8D132 (four megabytes); and MT16D232 (eight megabytes). SIMM socket is first-quality, professional metal-latch type for ease of insertion and secure contact. System Compatibility and Mapping: RAM is autoconfigured under AmigaDOS 3.0. RAM can be witheld from the free memory list (for test purposes) via a jumper. Math chip can operate without installed memory. Software: Includes MBRTest-2, a comprehensive diagnositic program for Amiga memory. Applications: Useful in any memory intensive and/or math intensive application such as animation, ray-tracing, morphing, scientific calculation, and image processing . Power Consumption: 200 milliamps (approximate). Configurations Available: Available with 68881 installed, without memory or with any of the four SIMM sizes. Product Availability: Worldwide distribution via Amiga dealers and distributors. USA Suggested Retail Price: $189 with 14MHz FPU and 0k memory. Actual selling price determined by dealer.
