Yes, I brought up the lack of a case early on. Of course, ANY manufacturer will have to see some numbers in units shipped before venturing into this, it's very expensive to mould a case for as long as the numbers are small.
Most of you probably already know of the coming competing products I guess, kipper2k's IDE+RAM and Zeus68k. They all aim to do the same thing for A500 (how cool are these last months!??
with individual differences.
These two are internal, so of course need no case. Perhaps a mirrored Zorro adapter could (barely) fit inside the side expansion flap to make the ACA500 the same?
Then of course internal ones require you to open the case to transfer files... So at least it's dead easy and quick to get your CF cards setup and transfer files with the ACA500 as it is.
The Zeus68k needs an extra CF (or SD) adapter but via a flatcable it could reach the expansion flap on the underside, which makes easier to access at least.
Kipper2k's IDE+RAM IIRC has an extra extender board for CF that you can get, if you want to cut out a hole in the case where CF sticks out.
So there are some options. Which is :afro:
