It seems if you click on other links and go back to the home page it shows Amiga forever.
I had to go to cart and then click on front page to get it to show up.

Thanks for the link.
I can not afford them.

I'm a bit surprised to see the Spectrum card listed. Still, a new supply of ZorroII/III RTG graphics cards is nothing to scoff at.

I too was surprised to see the ZII/ZIII video card AND an A2000 fast card. WOW! Talk about support. NEW & desirable products for such a cool platform and one that is 22+ years old no less!!

Take that Atari, Mac, PeeCee, etc.!!   :-D

When I look at what I paid for a 68040 card for my A4000 not long ago then their 68060 card seems like damn good value to me considering that it is new and covered for 12 months.  Ditto for the A2000 68060 card.  Great stuff!

I'm a little surprised at the A1200 68030 card.  It's at the price I expected, although I expected it to have SCSI and some RAM included and not have to pay extra.

Still, these guys are talking a gamble and spending some serious money to make this run so good luck to them.

I'm really tempted to pick up a 68060 for the A4000 and eBay my 68040 card.

I'm not familiar with the Spectrum card, but anything that will allow a modern screen resolution for websurfing is a must.  There's no point in upgrading your A2000 with a 68060 and a Deneb so you can try and surf the Internet in an ECS 4 colour super high-res interlaced flickering screen.

Definitely.

I never had a Spectrum. I think it was one of the earlier Amiga graphics cards and was kind of forgotten about when RTG mania hit in the late 90s.

It looks quite capable, though - ZorroIII and a built-in monitor switcher are excellent features. I'm very tempted to get one for one of my secondary machines.

Dam Wish i had the Money for all of them. Those 060 cpu cards look great. For the GVP Ram i cant remember do you have to get them paired for a G-Force 040 board?
Hmm seems like lots of nice things are starting to come out now, only problem is what to spend your money on.

Should i get Jen A4000 SD/FF or the Spectrum?

I use a spectrum in my A2500 with an A2320 scandoubler. It's a rather nice card, all in all. You can use it with both Picasso96 and Cybergraphix as well as the native EGS drivers. Does just about as much as a Picasso II and it's ZorroII/ZorroIII auto sensing. $169 for a new one is not bad at all.

The built in pass through was one of the things I loved about the spectrum. The fact that it supported native screen mode pass through on the card without needing to buy the extra component was very nice.

I had one on my A3000 and it was nice being able to switch between native and RTG screen modes automatically without needing to use a monitor switch box.

I replaced my spectrum with a CV64-3d. While the CV64-3d was a faster card and had an 'add-on' pass through option, I could never find out 100% from a reliable source if it would work in my A3000T or not  :-?

I am mighty tempted to get the 040/40 on GVP's website for my A3000T to replace the A3640 currently in it.

All together now.....

Thank You GVP-M and Software Hut!!!!

[terminator4]

I'll believe when I hear folks here that bought them.  And how do we know if this is new old stock or old stock / refurbished???  pics of pcb+production would be nice.

[Amiduffer]

Could someone PLEASE volunteer to update their website!  :-D

GVP Data on Spectrum

Looks good. I'm itching to get it for the A3000.

[amiga1260]

I preorded the 2x GVP 16 MB memory for my GVP 1230 II accelerator card.
