Blizzard 1240T 68040 accelerator for the Amiga 1200.
Called a (T)ower version because the 68040 is sporting a small fan, and the SIMM slot is angled, meaning with memory installed your Amiga 1200 won't sit right. It seems to be an overclocked (33MHz) 68040 (full with MMU+FPU). I forgot the obligatory SysInfo screenshot, but it reports as faster than an A4000/040 by the appropriate margin.
By adding the SCSI+RAM kit, you can move the RAM and A1200 will sit on the desk again. There is a 64MB and 32MB SIMM included, so either run with 64MB top mounted, or 96MB in a tower case or with taller feet, using both slots. Can apparently run with 256MB total (2x 128MB, not included).
SCSI was tested with an external CD-ROM drive to read the AmigaOS 3.2 CD.
Here's an image showing the full 96MB, and the coincell battery reinstalled (moved while fitting the scsi+ram)
Can be upgraded to an 060 with some skill: http://wordpress.hertell.nu/?p=393
Can be fiddly to fit, good write up here: https://lyonsden.net/blizzard-scsi-kit-mkiv/
