Was anyone else disappointed with the A1200?

Which revision of the Blizzard 1230? The Blizzard 1230 MK3 placed the local memory in conflict with the PCMCIA port while the Blizzard 1230 IV placed it in Z3 range. I don't know whether there were later revisions. So I guess you are referring to the Blizzard 1230 IV? I wasn't aware that it had such a fault. Now I feel less envious because my Blizzard from back in the day is only a MK3 (and has 8MB of RAM that won't go well with the now available useful PCMCIA expansions)...
