The ACA500plus Just went on Sale!!!!

Got mine on order as well.  I haven't been using my 500 lately because of the lack of an easy way to transfer files to it from my PC or Mac, but, this will bring the functionality of the 1200's PCMCIA port with a CF reader to the 500.  That, and there's a planned upgrade for a USB and network port on the ACA.

Maybe https://www.amiga-shop.net/ or from Individual Computers website.

I've only seen them listed on iComp.  The way I understand things, and I might be wrong, is that he is only producing the number of boards that are pre-ordered.  So, who knows, this might be a direct order only kind of product, with no resellers getting stock.  The pre-order has been updated now with a statement that demand is far greater than expected, and, that shipment of the product will be delayed until January, instead of sometime this week or next, as initially intended.

Looks like these have started showing up! A few posts over at A1k.org showing them arriving!

And, looks like a few of those who have received it already are having issues.

Really ? Like what?

Three users on A1K said they had to power cycle about 10 times before the ACA500+ worked.   Really weird.  Then, one of them kept getting an error code ,for which there is no documentation yet, on the ACA's display.

Translation?

Jens response to issues is translated as:

The online documentation is not yet started, sorry. E0 is an exception, I know from memory.

Try it without overclocking, set at 14MHz. There are really (accelerator) cards that do not like overclocking.
