@Rattlehead

GVP-M is a former shadow of itself.  They cannot even support their products properly.  I won't get into specifics now, but shouldn't their knowledge be higher than average user's?
Few weeks ago I had issues with an accel board.  I found help on a.org.  Already, supporting A2000, A1200, A3000 and A4000 is unrealistic (production run for 4 products!) and you can expect prices way higher than they are on ebay.  
I would recommend A2000/1200 (most common to find, and 1200 NOS still available).
I doubt they have any software developers or engineers in house - so who is going to design newer hardware?
Oh, and don't bring Elbox into the mix.  I went to Cracow, Poland, and looked for 3 hours for their office - anyone that was asked had no clue where it was, even though I went to the right street etc.  The Dragon must have sucked them in. :lol:
Proven Blizzards?  TekMagic boards are also proven.

Anyway the price you pay will be higher than ebay's.  Thats for all of you that a dreaming of 060 for $300
 :lol:

Why the GVP-m's accelerators can't have more than 128 MB of memory? Is it because of the memory modules (GVP-SIMMs)?

Back in 2000-2003 their site did not have a phone!
I may try again one day.

It only seems to be '030s for us poor 1200 users


GVP 4.13 latest version of ROM? haha.
actually its 4.15.  I guess they did not pay license to Mr Babel?  
I'm sure those prices will be "adjusted" for inflation if they get new stock.  Small production runs (<1000) don't result in discount prices, as much as we'd all like to see.
