I have the exact same card in my towered A4000, works quite well and is very reliable. I also purchased from software hut, many years ago.

is your mach chip socketed or surface mounted? the one on big book of amiga hardware has the mach chip socketed...this new one doesn't.

Where did you get it from? That looks like US mail. Software Hut finally get these?

Cool. It does look like it might be a rerun, possibly based on existing PCB's.

I have compared it to my cards, my cards have a ROM socket below the Mach chip, the Mach chip is indeed socketed on mine and half of the RAM is socketed too (1MB or 2MB options)

Nice one!
