Don't underestimate the 128 MB. A lot of  stuff easiy useable. The most important app that is easily consuming all the 128 MB is OWB. But you can use it with 1-3 tabs, just watch the RAM usage and quit before you get out of RAM. Also there is Sputnik, which shares a bit of Efika's fate. Good approach, but literally eaten by the successor (Sputnik - OWB , Efika -  Mac mini).
Most other apps are really fine with 128 MB.
It is a tiny fun computer, pretty nice for tinkering around and surprisingly useable for many things.


I couldn't agree more Zylesea - the 128MB is not as tough to deal with as one might think. I enjoyed my trial version so much with my little Efika that I was 100% sold on MorphOS in all honesty. Little did I know that when the time came to register that my mac mini would be ready to be put back to use :)

I am going to take advantage of the discounted registration price and give my Efika some registered love..and finally integrate into my home theatre thanks to AmiNetRadio.

Like many, my Efika gathered a thick layer of dust - but only until just recently when tone007 did his Atari 5200 case/forum post, it made me stop and really take a second look and feel somewhat..well....guilty. I really don't think I gave it much of a chance. That is why I thought I'd start this little site to maybe have us all give it a second look and stop selling them on the used market for a loss. :)

Thanks to everyone's kind words about the site. I hope you all can click into the site's little 'forum' too and share stories, and contribute a bit. Oh, and please drop me some photos of your Efika too!

Before I make it into a shoutcast/mp3 player..(which I will document eventually on the site) I plan on giving a blow by blow as I try out some Linux implementations and finally a MorphOS on Efika revisit to the best of my ability.

Bottom line - Steven/ClusterUK need to be around during the Efika launch I think. hehe Maybe it would be in a slightly better place. :)


Please continue to check on the site as time passes if you are curious.

Regards,

Sean (debaser)

Thanks for including the Efika Book on your site.  I've never seen that (didn't come with my card).  Very handy.


Yes, quite handy indeed!

All of the thanks for EfikaBook need to go to all those behind it and efika.org for their work back in the day.
