A1200 FPU Upgrade (Onboard)

£16.66 Ex. VAT

A1200 FPU upgrade (onboard) which includes socket, FPU and installation.

What does the modification do?

This FPU modification adds a real FPU to the A1200 motherboard, there has always been a place (U0) for an onboard FPU but it was never added. This is a perfect compliment for a stock A1200 or one with an accelerator without an FPU option, for example The TF1230 or any standard ram upgrade like the 11Mb Fast Ram upgrade. However there are a couple of limitations of adding an onboard FPU.

  • The FPU will be using the CPU clock which is at 14Mhz, which means the FPU will be running at 14Mhz
  • The FPU will be disabled if you use a 040 or 060 accelerator, for example TF1260. This is because both the 040 and 060 processors do not acknowledge external FPUs as you can get those processors with built in FPUs.

This modification is available as an option on our A1200 recapping service, ReAmiga 1200 and Refurbished units.
