It seems there is some confusion. There are many more a1200's out there in use than a2000/a3000/a4000's. If they are going to market a product they have to go for the largest market. As it seems possible that it may also work if you have another card in your machine then the only people that appear to be unable to use this are a1000/a500/a500+/a600 users. A zorro card would be nice, I imagine if the clock port version is popular then someone will make a compatible zorro & pci version eventually.
