I'v seen it, hideously overpriced since a RAM expanded 1200 can nearly match it's performance.

Nice one! I wonder for how much it will go... :-) I think that right now it's a good deal...

If I were in the market for an A600 accelerator (and I'm not, since I acquired an M-Tec '030 card from a super-cool amiga.org user last year:-P) I would probably hold off, and wait (pray) for the release of Jens' unit. You'd end up with an '030, <4 megs of RAM without interfering with PCMCIA (something my M-Tec unfortunately suffers from), and likely end up saving a bit of money as well.

Yeah, I also got an M-Tec (well, a Viper actually) with 4 Mb Fast.

4 Megs are a bit tight, but I find it a fun challenge making the system do everything I want with so little ram. :-)

Sadly, I need the PCMCIA for the ethernet card, so 8 MB were out of the question...

I very much doubt Jens is ever going to release his 030 accelerator. I had preordered one ages ago before it was cancelled...  :-(
