   The X-ray pulsar 1SAX J1324.4-6200 discovered recently with BeppoSAX
   with a period of 170.84 s joins the small group of pulsars with periods
   > 100s, of which only 3 others have periods between 100-200s. Non-
   detection in the IPC implies a relatively recent brightening. We
   propose a single observation using the good spectral capabilities of
   ASCA. The main aims are to clarify the nature of the companion,
   determine continuum parameters including cut-off energy, measure
   energies and EWs of lines, several of which are indicated in the SAX
   data, and fit the edge at 7.2 keV. Thus we can constrain the ionization
   state and properties of line emitting regions, of a wind, and location
   of fluorescent emission. We can also carry out pulse phase resolved
   spectroscopy, search for period changes and QPOs.
