Hardware I would like

[mechy]

Hi, which new hardware do you need for classic or NG computer(s). You can put plausible, but not currently in production items.

I would like:
A cheap as possible accelerator card for the A600/A500/A1200
A fast 020 or 030 upgrade for Amiga 500 with lots of RAM

Big box accelerators(A2000,3000,4000) with fast ethernet,uwscsi/sata and usb onboard so it is local bus to the cpu and fast.

proper accelerators for A500/600/1200 with full fpu/mmu,scsi/sata.

Tried one of those and the FastATA didn't like it, and now no longer works :-(  I have a buffered IDE adapter might try it again on that.

The reason for trying is that IDE is becoming rare and SATA HDDs and DVDs can source really easily and readily through work.

CF Cards are limiting too, why have a 8/16/32GB card when I can have a 250GB HDD plus a DVD writer?

You'll never fill that 250GB? Sure I have just about filled it with downloading various items off the internet and 3000+ WHDLoad games etc ;-)

Its not about the speed but about future proofing the A1200 :-)

Ide to sata adapters are dirt cheap. you will get ide speeds but can use sata devices.

I actually had a pretty hard time finding an 8GB CF card recently.  Most places are only pushing sales of 16GB+, and 128GB cards are dropping close to the $100 USD mark.  Still more expensive than a hard drive, sure, but isn't 127GB the largest an Amiga can support?

Edit:  According to Wikipedia, largest PFS can do is "137GB Max volume size", and SFS "127GB Max volume size".  Not sure if that means you could have multiple volumes/partitions on a single device?

Edit again:  Nevermind, I just googled and found a note that PFS can do up to 2TB.  I guess you'll all be secure to download the entire Aminet onto your hard drives, as soon as an appropriate interface for said drives becomes available!  :lol:

sfs handles 1TB iirc, and you have to make partitions under 128GB. i keep them around 100Gb..

you mean you don't have everything in the world on your amiga now? where have you been hehe:rofl:
