Question: Why no new memory expansion cards?
« on: March 25, 2008, 11:58:21 PM »
So this might have been addressed before but I couldn't seem to find anything when I searched the forums and I am hoping someone knowledgeable might know the answer.

Why are there no new memory expanding zorro cards being made for the amiga? I am thinking something along the lines of a dkb3128. I have seen boards like these sell for quite a bit and it seems like there is some demand for it.

Is it nothing more than no one thinks there is a demand for them? Or is it that there is some technical challenge than is extremely non-trivial with the current ram in use today?

Any light folks could shed on this would help satisfy my curiosity.

Okay this was so obvious I am embarassed. I completely forgot about ram expansion on the accelerators. Everything you said makes perfect sense. Once you factor in the those folks using better accelerator cards the demand would drop to a paltry few.

It most likely is in fact ultimate a demand issue in the end.

Thanks.
