- You wouldn't want to USE a PCMCIA Ram card in your A4000 even if it was
- posible, not even in a A1200 which is! The RAM cards are 16-bit, the Amiga
- 1200 and A4000 are 32-bit systems, you would Greatly SLOW your Amiga system
- down using it! It's fine for a 16-bit A600, and them 16-bit CLONE systems.
- I sure don't think it's worth it. Hell I think my A1200 030/50Mzh system is
- just TOOOO Slow as it is, even with the 8 megs of 32-bit FAST RAM.
