The Blizzard wasn't the only player in the game. The GVP '030 cards of old were excellent... very well made, reliable, and compatible (heck, even my '060 GVP TekMagic works well with WHDLoad).

The downside was the proprietary RAM, also the MKIV Blizz had a better SCSI option.

However, I'm not sure what the GVP "Typhoon" is... hopefully a remake of the A1230+. Might want to wait for some more info/pics before ordering.

The Microbotics '030 card is the only one I know of that might cause problems with WHDLoad, as it (apparently) generates some random exception that crashes games and demos. I have no first hand knowledge of this though... could be an inappropriately configured card (flashrom parameters could be modified) or some other user error.

Obviously, the MKIV Blizzard was a nice card, arguably the best... but there's no reason to shy away from some of the other great cards out there.

I am glad you are getting good use out of the 060 GVP TekMagic I sold you, but every time I see you mention it I wish I had kept it.  :boohoo:

Like you I have not seen or heard of the "Typhoon" for the A1200, but I have the GVP A1230+ (JawsII).

If only they'd make a production run of some A530s for the Amiga 500...

I think only thing that's stopping them is the housing of the A530. All units being produced are internal units which don't need housing.

Interesting comment.  I have an A530 and my next door neighbor owns a injection plastic molding company and could probably reproduce the A530 case, but the creation of the mold is expensive.  I don't know what he would charge to do it, but if there is a possibility of getting A530 pcb's produced, I could get a quote for the cases.

The A530 is a great item for the A500.
