I'm a "returning A500 user" and would love an accelerator, but not an external one.  Ugh, guess I'll just have to keep waiting and scouring ebay...  :'(

exactly...

An internal accelerator, designed to accommodate a few other potential internal expansions could fairly easily have been done.

maybe an 020 at 28Mhz, 8meg ram, a compact flash slot, and maybe a second IDE connector for a cdrom...

even if it cost twice as much as the ACA500, its twice as functional and practical!


I would pay up to $500 USD for this, today, if it fit in the 68000 socket and didn't interfere with sidecar expansions (like the GVP and A570/A590), and was sized so that it didn't conflict with either the Indivision ECS or a Mini-Megachip, or need a billion fragile standoffs.  But alas!  I'm sure everyone wants something a little different, and Jens is going to do what Jens wants to do.  Still, I've finally got a little money to spend on my retro fix, if only the hardware were available!  :(  *sad face*

@tone007 - LOL!  Was that a printer?  I suspect the pass-through on your HD would choke it.  ;)
