I have never understood what it is with Amiga users and always wanting "the cheapest" of something.  #sigh

In any case, +1 for Kipper's stuff being very good quality, and affordable.  :)

It always seemed to me Amiga peripherals were overpriced.

Because for something I'm only going to use once in a while, I don't want to overpay, especially if it's old and a replacement is hard to find.

Old + Replacement hard to find = not going to be cheap.

If you want cheap get a 600 or 1200 and use any old CF adapter. :laughing:
