Looking for a Blizzard 1220 4MB accelerator card for playing WHDload on my A1200. My budget is £60 which includes p&p, preferably in the UK please. Thanks

Preferably something that has simm ram and not surface mounted.

I have an Amitek Hawk Ram Card you can have for your budget, it has an FPU fitted but it is not an accelerator. There is a RTC but the battery may need to be replaced by now, its a coin type.

It has a 4mb Simm fitted but you can upgrade to 8mb,it takes 72pin Simms

Let me know if you are interested. £60 would be with second class post and PayPal as 'gift', if you want first class recorded or special delivery that would be at cost

More info on the card here:

Of course ths card is ideal for WHDLoad

The FPU that has been fitted, what is it? Is this card like an accelerator then because of the fitted FPU?
Was really looking for a Blizzard..

No it's not an accelerator, the 68882 FPU is a math co processor that will help some apps run faster. For WHDLoad it's not really used.

You will struggle to find an accelerator for your budget, you might find a Viper 1230 or Apollo/Blizzard 1220 though. The Blizzard 1220 does not take simms, it has 4mb Ram soldered to the board, there is a 4mb expansion board to take it to 8mb but they are rare.

A Blizzard 1230, etc will be over budget.

A 4 or 8mb Ram upgrade will be fine for WHDload though.

All the best.

Steve.

Thanks for the reply.
Could the mods please close this thread. I've changed my mind and won't have the funds for upgrading my Amiga in the near future.
