Access Amiga clone - is there any future ???

[haymiggan]

I could see an idea with installing it in my A1200T and connect it to my TV-Card... i COULD really see the advatanges of that...in fact, i'm going to see if i can buy one!

Wasn't there an italian company making a smaller batch last year?

Well, I'm hoping to win the auction on ebay at the moment.... anyone here battleing for it?

We can draw straws instead

Effy: thanks, but I don't think i deserve that...

But if the entire Amiga community behaved like this, and didn't spend money on competing against eachother, we would really be better off.

...and that was the moral preach of today...
i'm lord haymigga signing off... 8-)

Already talked to methanoid, he's a nice chap. We had quite a fight over it didn't we, but it was a fair one

Now it's time to look for a proper network card for it, and an isa 90 degree riser card as it has to fit in tight space!

but i've heard that an Accton ISA card might work...
