Title: Preorder for the new 4MB PCMCIA SRAM cards
Post by: strim on May 25, 2014, 09:31:33 PM

I'm proud to announce preorder for the new 4MB PCMCIA SRAM cards for Amiga 600/1200.

The product has following features:

• Adds 4MB of Fast RAM to Amiga 600 or Amiga 1200
• Accelerates unexpanded Amiga 1200 to 1.67 MIPS (according to SysInfo)
• Built using modern, high performance 55ns SRAM ICs
• Very simple installation - just insert the card into PCMCIA slot on the left side of Amiga
• Compatible with all PCMCIA friendly accelerators and memory expansions
• Open source design
• Made by Amigans for Amigans!

The card can be preordered at RetroAmi (http://retroami.com.pl/product.php?id_product=112) shop.

The price is around 50 EUR, cards will be delivered to users in late August 2014.

I hadn't realized the supply of old 4MB cards on the market had gotten so low as to warrant a new production. Something like this is a must-have for 600/1200 users without an accelerator - great for WHDLoad and some light productivity work.

I hope you'll be able to do some sort of protective case/shell for it, though. The bare board seems too exposed...

We wanted to keep the price as low as possible, so we didn't include any kind of case. But there are some chances 3rd party will produce one (a person interested in this has already contacted me).
