Soft Hut Typhoon cards

Joe is a good person and will make good on your purchases, but his Amiga business is only a tiny fraction of what he does, so I have to admit that he isn't always the quickest with communications.  I hope he will respond before anyone's patience runs out.

I have spent thousands with Joe and never had a problem.  I would say that the manufacturing problems are most likely out of his control and there is nothing he can do to rush their completion, or resolve the delay, but he is trying to minimize any possible losses from people demanding refunds, so his communications have been sparse perhaps.  He took a chance by paying up front to have the boards made and might not break even if too many people back out of their orders.

@amigadave.
I understand your point, we all know what Joe has done in the past, and Joe's reputation is not on trail here, but at what point is it no longer acceptable to wait for a product that is delayed? 2 months, 6 Months, 12 years? (man, I am STILL waiting for my Intellivision keyboard from Mattel- the original one that the Intellivision slid into-Black Whale).

Coupled with the fact, that since I had ordered it, another accelerator card literally fell into  my lap, leads me to the fact, that I am waiting for a card (now over 2 months) that once I receive, I am just going to turn around and sell to try and get my money back that way.
I am sure Joe has more than enough people on his list, that if I received a refund, this card would go out and not sit on a shelf somewhere.

Yes, I am sure that one or two refund requests aren't going to break Joe, and I can see why you wanted your refund after finding another accelerator card (which has nothing to do with Joe), but my point was that the Amiga users that ordered these boards should have expected some kind of delay for a production run of Antique hardware and shown some more restraint before going on a public forum and complaining about it.

Joe should have probably been better with his communication too, to keep people from turning to the forums to complain, but it just seems to be a recurring theme on Amiga forums to see impatience and complaining following lack of communication.  I was just trying to ease peoples fears and support Joe as a long time supporter of Amiga users everywhere.
