Just had some experiments with my new ACA500Plus - awesome card, much more usefull than the ACA500.
I was curious about compatibility, so I've tested it with a number of accelerators to see if they work (at least 2 insertions) - NOTE this was basic boot test, so I didn't check for stability, RAM access etc. simply just to see if the system would boot. Feel free to add your own test results and I'll update the OP to have a rolling list.
Tested to boot:
ACA1221(lc)
ACA1221ec
ACA1230/56
ACA1231
ACA1232 (40mhz)
Blizzard 1230 128MB
Blizzard 1260 (75 MHz) 64MB
Tested, doesn't work:
BlizzardPPC 060/160
Microbotics MBX1230XA 50MHz
GVP 1230 Jaws II+ 50 MHz
M-Tec 1230 28MHz 8MB
ACA1232/33
Apollo 1260
Apollo 1240
Vampire
Blizzard 1220/4
Inconclusive:
(works for some not for others)
Blizzard 1220 4 and 8MB config
BPPC 333/50 on A1000 (no SCSI)
E-Matrix 1230-50 (no fast RAM)
ACA1233-40 (no fast RAM might need ACATune setup)
