- processor is soldered to the board
- memory
- 128 MB SD-RAM, soldered to the board
- 1MB RAM is always mapped to address 0x00c00000
- 1MB RAM is reserved for FastROM option
- memory autoconfig of the remaining RAM only for Kickstart v3.1 and above
- for Kickstart 3.0, the memory has to be added by software
- notes
- asynchronous design
- clock port header, to be used for the RTC module from Individual Computers (not suitable for other clock port expansions)
- two CPU sockets on the board which allows using the same PCB for the ACA 1232 (with different CPU and logic), an upgrade is not possible
- used CPUs are installed (scratches/dents possible)
- processor expansion is meant for usage with the ACA 500, for the A1200, this expansion is more or less only a RAM expansion as the processor is only marginally faster

Manufacturer Individual Computers, Germany | Date 2010 | Amiga A1200 | Interface trapdoor slot |
- processor
- CPU: 68EC030 @ 28MHz or 68030 @ 42 / 56 MHz, PGA
- all processors are slightly overclocked to allow for a synchronous board design, the nominal speeds are 25 / 40 / 50 MHz
- no FPU option
- very fast burst timings: 2-1-1-1 (28 MHz), 3-1-1-1 (42 / 56 MHz)
- memory
- 64 MB SD-RAM, soldered to the board
- memory autoconfig only for Kickstart v3.1 and above
- for Kickstart 3.0, the memory has to be added by software
- memory clock: 56 MHz for 28/56 MHz versions, 42 MHz for 42 MHz CPU
- notes
- the first processor card to feature a -1-1-1 burst
- synchronous design
- no FPU option as this would have caused too much load on the data bus and would have increased burst timing
- RTC clock chip as well as battery have to be installed by the user, those were not included in the retail package to cut costs:
- socket for RTC chip OKI6242 (or compatible)
- battery socket for a CR1225 or CR1220 cell
- used CPUs are installed (scratches/dents possible)
- although socketed, the CPU is not intended to be changed/upgraded - a different logic would be needed for higher frequencies, and the warranty is lost if the sticker is removed
- no deactivation of the card possible
- after installation, the trapdoor doesn't fit (plastic parts of it have to be removed)
- jumper to map 1MB of the memory to address 0x00c00000
- works for all Kickstart versions
- results in a speed increase for Kickstart 3.0 as system functions will be located in FastRAM
- compatibility is increased for A500 software that expects RAM at this address
- the 56 MHz card is recommended to be operated without trapdoor due to excessive heat

- processor
- CPU: 68EC030 @ 42MHz, 68030 @ 25 or 68030 @ 42 MHz, QFP (surface mounted Quad Flat Pack)
- 25 MHz option uses an underclocked 42 MHz processor
- option was introduced as some of the processors didn't run reliably at 42 MHz
- memory
- 64 MB SD-RAM, soldered to the board
- memory clock: 83 MHz
- 1MB RAM is always mapped to address 0x00c00000
- 1MB RAM is reserved for FastROM option
- memory autoconfig of the remaining RAM only for Kickstart v3.1 and above
- for Kickstart 3.0, the memory has to be added by software
- notes
- asynchronous design
- fast burst timing of 2-1-1-1
- OEM product for Vesalia
- first examples were delivered without heat sink which caused problems with certain configurations
- heat sinks were supplied free of charge by Vesalia to be installed by the user
- the cards also had a logic missing a startup delay, causing problems with slow hard disk drives

Manufacturer Individual Computers, Germany | Date 2014 | Amiga A1200 | Interface trapdoor slot |
- processor
- CPU: 68030 @ 40 MHz, PGA
- processor is soldered to the board
- FPU: 68881/68882 can be mounted, with synchronous or asynchronous clock (with additional oscillator)
- memory
- 128 MB SD-RAM, soldered to the board
- memory clock: up to 80 MHz
- 1MB RAM is always mapped to address 0x00c00000
- 1MB RAM is reserved for FastROM option
- memory autoconfig of the remaining RAM only for Kickstart v3.1 and above
- for Kickstart 3.0, the memory has to be added by software
- notes
- asynchronous design
- clock port header, to be used for the RTC module from Individual Computers (not suitable for other clock port expansions)
- card provides solder pads for FPU and FPU oscillator, although it is not available from manufacturer with equipped chip
- with FPU, the load on the data bus is increased - disabling burst mode is recommended to have a stable operation, thus reducing speed of the card
- the reduced speed resp. the need to disable the burst mode is the reason why the card has no socket and doesn't come with preinstalled FPU, as the manufacturer seeked for the fasted possible design
- installing an FPU voids warranty
- with the same CPU, the speed of the card is exactly the same as the predecessor ACA 1232

- processor
- PowerPC 750 (G3) @ 250 / 300 / 333 / 400 MHz
- 512 or 1024 kB L2 cache
- 68k emulation is both Flash ROM and software based - the card would be completely functional if the 68k emulation worked
- the card boots until a certain point in Exec is reached, and after activating ROMWack (debugger) the Amiga is put in debug mode on the serial port
- memory
- one 144 pin SO-DIMM socket for up to 128 MB RAM
- supports 32, 64 and 128 MB PC66 SO-DIMMs
- notes
- Thomas Rudloff designed the card in his spare time, it was never an official Metabox project
- only three prototype cards were built
- PCI-Bridge - a tower busboard (made by RBM) with AGP and PCI connectors would connect to the headers on the back of the card, but this busboard were never produced
- battery backed up clock
