You can't get one without an MMU.
But I have one without the FPU, and I've never needed the FPU |

"68030" means with MMU, "68EC030" means no/without MMU.
Blizzard 1230/IV comes with MC68030RC50 cpu, so MMU is included. FPU could be required for math/reytracing/3d and last high level demo from demo party. About A1200 accelerator boards perhaps you can find useful my #4 post here: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=31687 Last edited by fc.studio; 10 March 2009 at 19:27. |

The ammount of demos I found for 030 that require an FPU is little.
Unless you find a cheap one, don't worry. If you are worried about very modern demowatching, get an 060! |

One last question: what about the compatibility of the a1200 to a500 games ? do i need something like a kickrom-changer in order to use kr 1.3 ? |

- If you have a hard drive and a simple RAM board you only need WHDLoad shareware software and then you'll be able to install and play from hard drive thousands A500 games without compatible problems. |
