I see Hackaday picked up on the Parceiro for Amiga 1000 - any takers?

I first became aware of this device when AmigaL0ve posted about it on his forums last week. I ordered one immediately. The fourth unit made (apparently) is on its way to me in the mail right now (was hoping it would get here by the weekend!).

I will be replacing my Starboard II (2MB FAST, SCSI, RTC) and its two spinning hard disks with the new device.



Anyone else excited about this new device?

For sure I am excited. I got my 1000 with the intention of keeping it as stock as possible. But hdd storage I must have and I guess I could disable the fast memory if I needed to.

Made my declaration of interest to the creator and I am in a queue. Looking forward.

yup SN #3 here..got email from David (guy making them) that mine has been made last week..payment sent & just waiting for it to arrive over the border soon hopefully though with this pandemic stuff crossing the Canada/US border is taking longer

I honestly don't know if I can replace my original 20MB MFM-XT HD that sits atop my case and the 2 Comspec ram side cars that give it a trusty 4MB fast ram for all these years but will test it out on a spare A1000 I have & go from there eh

I got one as a kit from David last week.  Very easy to solder it up, and it works great...

I have one as well, have not had time to test it out yet.   Really cool little device!
