would that work with a A1200 equipped with an acceleration board?

  Yes it will, I have an Amiga 1200 with a Blizzard 1230IV accelerator board. They were super common back in the day. Its 68030 runs at a whopping 50MHz, so you pretty much have to wear a seatbelt.

    I had a Blizzard myself, and I kind of remember it was equipped with a 68EC030, that is a 68030 without MMU. And I suspect the reason Serena requires a 68030 is in fact its MMU.

      That's interesting! Didn't consider that.

        I checked my board. Says MC68030RC50C - it has an MMU

      My A1200 got a blizzard (1230mkIV). Has a 030@50, and definitely has MMU; I run Linux and Netbsd with it.

They specifically mention A2000 as supported. I assume that requires an '030 accelerator card then, but an A2000 with '030 card is probably much cheaper than an A3000 or A4000.
