all, anyone hear if an a1200 will blow up if a ROM switch is put in it?
Tony,
I don't know what ROM you would plan to switch to. Only 3.0 will work on
the 1200 because previous versions 2.04 and 1.3 are only 16 bit and are
not compatable with the 32 bit architecture of the 1200. Sorry, bud!

Tony,
The A1200 hardware requires Kickstart 3. You could put a ROM switcher in
without blowing it up, but it's not going to do anything with a 1.3 or 2.0
ROM in it except crash when you turn it on.
Tony:
Rom switchers are designed for the A500/A2000 ROM. The ROM in the 1200 is
probably different, and so I doubt that any of the ROM switchers will work
in it.

Actually, when I think about it, the A1200 has 32-bit ROM access, so the
switcher wouldn't even be pin-compatible…
