They also charge £300 for an Atari STE. What a rip off, who would pay £300 for 1992 technology?

I think this thread was what I expected, but wasnt what I hoped for from the title - I imagined that someone in the UK had tooled up for a production run of accelerators. I'd go for anything better than this (I have the 25MHz version - it only accepts a solitary 8MB SIMM), and pay reasonable money for it.

Yeah we could use a run of accelerators with sockets that take either '040s or '060s have a couple of SIMM slots, or even a SODIMM slot, and have a mini-PCI socket for a network or wireless card.


but you can do the networking with a PCMCIA card !
better to use the miniPCI for USB or graphics.
