http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/...roducts_id=464

Is this the right article to increase Amiga 1200 memory ?

No, you cannot fit this SIMM into a bare A1200. You will first have to buy a suitable upgrade card.

AmigaKit don't sell them. You need to check www.amibay.com and ebay.

When you linked to that sale I was soooo tempted by it, but then I must stop spending and raise funds!

I linked it more as a source of information than anything else, it has a link to some photos and a few posts with discussion of interest - the listing is for UK only...

@DDNI, only one user-id per person is allowed at Amibay... so no, it isn't mine.

@Another World, the person selling the item(s) decides where they are willing to ship to.

I have a sort of question along these lines so rather than opening a new thread, can someone explain the story with A1200s and the PCMCIA slot with >4MB of memory? I heard that an 8MB expansion card prevents the PCMCIA slot from working, but does this apply to say, Blizzard cards?

Yep, a standard 8MB expansion disables the PCMCIA slot. However acclerators tend to map the Fast RAM in a different area so there is no conflict.

Thanks for your answer. Looks like I'll need to either limit my expansion to 4mb or get an accelerator card if I want to use a PCMCIA ethernet card

You may want to opt for a nice PCMCIA friendly Accelerator with 16MB RAM or more if you want to network your Amiga, esp for Web Surfing.

I personally don't use my Amiga's for surfin the web, I was just letting our friend know that the option is there and that more than 8MB FAST RAM would be an essential if that is what he chose to do.

I won't be surfing the web, just a bit of telnet here and there. Going to start searching for a 1230 anyway.
