#New Hardware
7 messages in this thread
Ok I need some help buying some hardware….
1) What accelerator should i buy for my A1200 and how much will it cost ?
(Must have MMU and min of 030 Accelerator)
2) What is the average price of a 4 Meg >16< bit SIMM (70ns) ?
Any help gratefully received….

Rob,
1. I would suggest the GVP A1230 Turbo+ Series II. This will give you a 40
MHz 68030, real time clock, 4Mb expandable to 32 Mb. The going price from
Creative Computers (not my choice for distributor) $525 US. Will also get
the added benefit of SCSI with the addition of the A1291 Scsi kit.
2.Seems to me (just looking at ads mind you) that most of them say CALL!!
Have noticed an ad from De Vine Computer Sales that for SIMM 32/4Mb/60ns @
$199 US (please note that these are GVP SIMMs for the above board).
Hope this helps,

Rob,
I would second that recommendation (Trent, as you know I have the A1230
Turbo+ II and it's a great board).
One thing I would ask though, is what you want the MMU for (debugging or
Virtual Memory?) as the standard board doesn't have one, although the
50Mhz version apparently does – according to adds..

If you don't have a need for SCSI, DeVine has a great deal on the
Micrbotics M1230XA. It's the 33mHz 68030 with MMU and a 33mHz 68882 math
chip for only $299.00. I got one a couple of months ago and it works
great!
