Hello Greg,

   The A1200 is a nice machine: 16 MHz 68020 (near as makes no odds) and I ran a   
   68882, possibly at 32 MHz and a 4Mb SIMM (in addition to the soldered 2Mb).    
   Both FPU and SIMM socket were on a card that lived in the trapdoor slot.  A   
   friend of mine added a 68030+68882 to his, both running at 50 MHz.  He   
   eventually went the tower route.   
      
     GG> Reminds me of my Atari 1040 STE.  :)  (Expanded to 4 meg.. blah   
       > blah blah...)   
      
   The 1040 STE was a nice machine, but not really in the same class as an A1200,   
   which had a 32-bit bus and room for a 2.5" ATA hard disk internally (that   
   said, if you've got a 1040 laying around somewhere... ;-)   
      
     GG> Yeh, sounds like the Amiga is either the parallel for the 1040   
       > STE or the Falcon.  Not sure which yet.   
      
   That's not comparing like with like.  An Amiga 500 would be a suitable match   
   for an STE - but more expandable, with a more sophisticated (and complicated)   
   operating system.  An A1200 is more like a TT than a Falcon, since it has a   
   full 32-bit bus, yet lacks the DSP.
