  • I read on the net about new edge connectors on newer cards are much more thick and you need to open the Amiga, unscrew it to get the card installed.

    I like to swap the cards and opening the Amiga to do that is not practical. I can not get info if this is a general problem or only for users without shield installed.

    Is this applicable to ACA cards if you try to install it to original Amiga 1200 with shields installed ?

  • We've shipped A1200 accelerators for over a decade now, and not a single customer has complained about a requirement that removing the mainboard screws would be necessary. So no, that's not a problem, but a bad rumor.

  • Hi,


    My ACA1234 has a connecting slot issue, the pins appear bent and the Accelerator is no longer recognized. It appears some internal pins are out of alignment. It is hard to show in a picture, but can the connector be replaced?

  • Looks like you have one of those rare A1200s without a bevelled edge and pushed quite hard to achieve such bending.


    Send it back, we'll exchange the connector.

  • I seem to have missed replies to the emails I sent about the return of my ACA1234 after its repair, and after sending the funds for its return. It has been months since I sent it in and the funds for shipping (€50 + €15) were sent on 19-MAY-2022 almost 3 months ago.

  • Oops - hickup between the old web mailer that I've used when I last answered your eMail, and the new email server that we've set up shortly after that.


    I have now re-printed the shipping instruction and make sure that it's going out with today's UPS pickup.

  • The last reply was more than 365 days ago, this thread is most likely obsolete. It is recommended to create a new thread instead.
