ive tried looking for the aca 500 but they are all out of stock and theres nothing on ebay. any accelerator will do though as long as i can plug a 1200 card into it.

The ACA-500 was the only A500 accelerator in existence to take an A1200 card.

So, either hunt a used one down or wait for the ACA-500 plus, which will hopefully be finished one day.

or Vampire 500 when it's finish and ready for sale

As far as I can tell, the Vampire 500 will not take A1200 accelerators.

The full list of A500 accelerators is of course much longer than just the ACA-500, but the original poster specifically wanted to plug in an A1200 accelerator.

If the A1200 slot is not a necessity, I can strongly recommend the GVP A530.

This doesn't make much sense to me. Does the OP want an A500 accelerator or specifically an ACA500 expansion (14MHz 68000 hardly qualifies as an accelerator) with an A1200 accelerator? If the former then Vampire 500 V2 is the obvious one to go for if it becomes available soon. Unless there's something about the ACA500 they particularly want like a clock port I wouldn't recomend an external upgrade.
