Nice little piece of hardware!  I plugged in an 020 ACA I had for my 1200, and this thing screams with OS 3.1.  I haven't had a chance to really test it out with regards to the different speed settings (without the ACA 1220 attached to it) or various other settings, but, wow...it boots the OS in 2 seconds with the 020 installed.

I am so glad that the slower Amigas are getting massive speed boosts and decent storage options.

The design was always clever, it's just the hardware of the day wasn't. Especially with regard to floppy drives and the basic 68K.

Go Vampires! :)

Yes, I think PC formatted solid state very nice way to transfer stuff. This is not nearly as fast or easy on most other Amiga solid state options.

Have a nice time everybody with the new kit. Take your time writing about it Chief, I'm sur will be good reading. Let the soup cook right. :)
