Mine doesn't :)
Many of the A1200's had chip/motherboard revision problems also. Like
clockport & modulator problems. The problems on the A4000 tend to be Zorro
related. Zorro card support on the A1200 is poor at the best of times (i.e.
24bit address).
One point the original poster didn't make is that you really need to put an
A4000 in a tower as the case is a quiet limited. I bought a '030 A4000 just
to towerise and upgrade.
