Individual Computers: New Indivision models, A600 expansion, Chameleon delayed

[kolla]

Development of a mem expansion for the CD32 requires lots of money - I'd need a couple of hundred pre-orders. Also, "just memory" wouldn't do the trick, you'd surely want a CF card connector and a harddrive on it, right? Oh, a keyboard would also be nice.. see, we're quickly approaching an SX32. More money to spend...

The CD32 already has a minidin for keybard, where you can plug in amiga keyboards :-)

So, RAM + CF/SD + clockport (why have noone done a simple ethernet device for clockport yet, like on the C64?!) and I'm content.

And the wonderful jerky scrolling that goes with it.

It's not all that jerky, because it's not exactly 60Hz, but 62.5Hz. The tearing that goes with such a frequency is always in the same place, which makes things MUCH better.

So what if we do a animo check for just a simpel 8 mb ram with expansion connector for a future CF upgrade?

How many do we have to pre order jens?

Even a small production run te make the connector will give the DIY people a huge boost, someone already even made a 8 MB expansion, it's buggy but it seems to work. If the connectors are here I'am sure people will make upgrades

So what about a animo check? Make a simpel webpage for it with a counter fill in a e-mail adres and we will see if it can be done?!

The difference between people saying they want to buy and people who actually buy is too big, I've had bad experience with this. I need a single partner who places the order, someone who signs a contract and pre-pays a certain amount - that's the way I can start spending time and money on a development that I personally don't really believe in.

The way to make be believe is to put money on the table. This is where 99% of suggested projects fail. I've had wrong feelings before, such as the A600 chipmem expansion. In 2006, AmigaKit ordered them, and they were sold out pretty quick. Now I'm making new ones, and it seems like it was a _very_ good idea to make them. Despite my doubts.
