they are produced. but just in very small batches when DCE feel inclined.

thing is, the distibutors have to take the orders and money before hand, and when they have enuff orders to pay for DCE to do a production run, they'll do a batch. which is why vesalia and people like that can only offer one type out of the entire range. say the 060/210Mhz (note no scsi). for a month or so, then a batch of 240Mhz's couple of months after.

that leaves people like you and me possibly waiting a couple of months or so for 'new' cards

thing that bothers me is, unless we have some enterprising people out there willing to build something based on a G3/G4, how long till we run out of 060's (040's arn't around much anymore), 603's, and 604's?

[yes i am willing to bet money on the fact that the shark is vapourware and will never be released. it'd be a serious botch up if they did. 2 computers sharing the same PCI bus. the amiga side would be used to setup the system and initiallize the cards, then the shark would take over and shut down the 680x0, 60x, and most other functions. the amiga mainboard would then become an "amiga input device compatable PCI board" i guess.]

to only reason i'm not promoting peg or morph or what ever, is there is too much infighting as to what is best. so i'm going to stick with upgrading my classic machines till at least OS4 comes out and has a proper platform.

A500, A600, A1200x3, A2000, A3000, A4000 & a CD32.
and probably just like the rest of you, crates full of related "treasure" for the above XD
