- and Thomas Oleksy (oleksy@telepost.no) did say:
- :>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. :)
- The speed is pretty close according to AIBB. The Apollo consistently
- got about 95-99% of the Blizzard IV's marks. The only test the
- Blizzard scored much better on was WritePixel. (Using the modules
- in CompilAIBB1.0 and the recently posted module for the Blizzard-IV)
-
- I knew about the SCSI-II interface you can get for the Blizzard-IV but
- I didn't know it inluded an extra SIMM socket. Is that true? An
- expansion board for an accelerator board? If so then my problem is solved!
