That is fantastic news! Feels like Xmas again. I've learnt a lot (well... a lot for me) about my A1200 thanks to this thread and FOL. I've got one of these 2b motherboards unfortunately so will check for these capacitors ASAP.
Soooooooooo excited about potentially having this all sorted and running a sweet-sweet A1200!!!! Thanks to Jens BTW! |

This fix is quite a few years old. To my knowledge, it was first documented by Eyetech and reported back to ACT, where I did service on those oh-so-flaky Apollo accelerators. I was expecting that by now, every A1200 motherboard has the fix applied. I only have one board where the caps are installed, and it's one where the ACA1230 works perfectly. That's a good indicator that there really is a chipset combination where the components E123C and E125C are required. Jens |

Quick question dealing with Royal Mail, exactly how long does it take for Origin Post is Preparing Shipment people???? You have had it since 12/30.
Just stick in on a plane or something... ![]() Sorry, just had to vent a little. later, dabone |

@dabone
I offered you FedEx shipping upgrade on two occasions in this thread before it was shipped (FedEx Priority delivers in 24-48 hours from us) as you seemed very eager to get the card. USPS are very slow to update their website- you will probably find it arrived in the New York JFK mail centre 2-3 days after mailing, but they didnt update the tracking. It can then take up to 2 weeks to make its way across the States to the local USPS depot. |

I'm too poor to buy a ACA 1230/56 at the moment, hope they'll still be available to buy in a few months time. A lot of these great new products seem to disappear for some reason.

I'm wasting a lot in the Amiga although things look bad here in Spain for work and so. I hope I will receive my ACA1230/56 tomorrow as the next day we celebrate the Three Wise Kings...

I have some problems fitting the 28mhz and 56mhz cards nicely. A dutch guy on a dutch amiga forum gave me this url:
http://www.a1k.org/forum/showpost.ph...postcount=1236 It seems you have to cut away some other pieces of the casing instead of only cutting a little piece of the trapdoor. The cards do work fine if I do not cut anything, but they bend a lot if I do not cut something away. Are there any tools available somewhere to cut things nicely instead of doing it the hard ugly way? Btw. The cards are great and this cutting-thing is totally not a big problem for me. Thx Jens! |

Granted the 28MHz were bit awkward to push in, but the 56MHz, were all perfect. |

My 56MHz ACA1330 it was also a bit hard to insert due to some plastics and it's indeed a bit bend due to the upper plastic. I can post a picture about what I mean.
It's not a problem of usability since everything works like a charm, but the bending of the card exists for real. |

Not happy, just found out my order from Amigakit was sent by fedex. Fedex charge brokerage fees to the end user on international deliveries which are above and beyond regular customs fees. I was told heavy items are shipped by fedex when previous heavier items were shipped via Royal Mail.

@Kipper,
I'm sure it was best intentions to get the item out to you as fast as possible, Airmail from UK is taking 2-4 weeks (even longer in some cases) to get over the pond. FedEX is much faster. They are not to know that your local agent is charging a handling fee, for example Royal Mail do the same here ![]() Again, I feel this sort of thing is misuse of this thread and unfair feedback against Amigakit. Steve. |

It should have been either noted in the order comments while ordering or in a support ticket on our site. Royal Mail will not cover the full amount of the cards worth, FedEX do. |

I was waiting for all the timing fixes needed on A1200 boards.
Same thing with the faster apollo cards. I believe that why the blizzards didn't have these issues and were hence slower |
