- Blizzard 1230-IV comes with only one SIMM socket. So that`s true. I don`t
- think you`ll be able to get a _new_ Blizzard 1230-II nowadays, so you`ll
- have to get it used, I guess.
-
- The `great` things about the Blizzard 1230-IV... it`s the fastest 030-card
- for the A1200 around (up to 10 MIPS in Sysinfo against 8.8x on the mark II),
- it`s more compatible with different simms and the pcmcia- port, it`s very
- easy to disable if necessary and if you really need that extra SIMM
- socket, then there is an expansion which gives you just that PLUS a
- SCSI-II interface. :)
-
- >What other currently available a1200 accelerators have 2 SIMM sockets?
-
- Apollo, but personally, I would go for the Blizzard..
