Bummer! :mad: This is very bad news. It had to be internally! :furious: All hope is floating away for CDTV & A2000 users. :pissed:



It was never supposed to work in the CDTV, as the CDTV uses DMA for its CD-ROM (and on top of that there is very little space above the 68k-socket).

A2000 could get away with a simple adapter to the MMU (turbo-slot) only question is wether you'd still be able to use Z2 cards (as the ACA won't provide a config-out signal).

But Jens also hinted at an "ACA2000", which might just be the same card minus A500-side-slot plus some logik for Z2 use (just my guess).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
