This sure beats the cr*p out of the poor ACA500! :hammer:
It costs some money, but then you have the ultimate A500/A2000 expansion! :banana:


No so sure ...

With VAT we are talking close to 300Euro, the ACA500 is 80Euro, an ACA1232@40MHz can be had for 160Euro ->240Euro (incl. VAT).

- 2 CF slots instead of 2 IDE (IMO CF makes more sense these days)
- 128MB instead 16MB (and probraly faster too)
- Clockport
- propetery 16Bit port similar to the new XSurf
- 100% certainty of no RDB-trashing code

Only think negative is that the ACAs dangle outside the A500.
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

/me cuddles Iggy *love you too*

Also you want have to pay VAT an the ACAs either, so they would be even less expensive for you ....

It might just be cheaper for me to replace the A2000 with an A500 and use that.


You do know that Jens has allready outlined plans for an ACA2000 (very similar features then the ACA500) ?
