what's the card inside the a1200?

Hi all,

A friend want to buy a a1200 with an "accelerator card" inside, but we are not able to recognize this one...

Can someone say me what type of card is inside this a1200?

Thanks

not an accelerator , its a ram expansion with FPU

looks like this one

Sardine is correct in his identification, that's a MBX 1200z made by Microbotics in 1993. No accelerator functions, just adds more RAM to the system.

thanks guys for fast response!

Yeah, a lot of people are passing off memory expansions these days as "accelerators." I suppose it's technically correct since more memory means improved performance over stock, but it's still deceptive.
