Does the Blizzard SCSI adapter that connects to their A1200 accelerators (such as the 1230 MKIV) fit inside a desktop A1200?
I'm not really in any hurry to get one of these SCSI controllers, but if I did see one at a good price I would be tempted. However I'm not interested in doing a tower conversion on the A1200 as I like the compact desktop design, so need to know if it would fit.

I had a blizzard SCSI MKIV and they do fit inside a standard 1200 with the interface sticking out the spare slot at the back of the 1200 under the floppy. After looking at the MKIII on Amigakit it looks as they fit as well.

What about with a SIMM fitted?

Its an angled SIMM slot so it fits perfectly in. It can be fiddly fitting the 1230/40/60IV with the SCSI connected but everything fits in there fine without any modifications to the case.
