A1200 with 030 - should I blizkick?

pubzombie · 29 December 2014, 02:14

Hi all,
Been away from my Amiga for a while and want to get back into a bit of tinkering not just whdload gaming.
My main miggy is Amiga Technologies 1200 with an 030 fpu/64mb expansion an FCard for storage.
I'm really out of practice and can't remember how to boot into diagnostics to check the expansion is working etc (though I'm getting the blue lines on boot so I guess it's ok?)
Also is it a good idea to configure your icons to use fast memory? also will i benefit from using Blizkick? If so is there any instructions at hand to set them Up?
Thank you for your time.
Happy christmass and new year

Hi Steve,

Yes, if you have a Blizzard then you should use Blizkick.

Check out the ClassicWB packs for an easy way to a nice WB setup.

Thank you NC,
What does BlizKick actually do in terms of performance?
Thank u for your time

What roms do you have ? 3.0 or 3.1?
Blizkick will also let you try wb 3.9 if you want to tinker but dont have 3.1 roms fitted.

3.1 roms as standard on the Amiga Technologies 1200 i think
