Not only the 8-bit machines. The A1000 and A2000 provided 'tick' to
their boards. The A2000 could be jumpered to not require it (I have
done so for my A2000 in a Bomac (sp?) tower case that I've fitted a
PeeCee PSU in.

The A4000 does not provide tick. I didn't remember about the A3000.

That much is certainly true.
