A while. Almost eight years after my original inquiry. I have recall of the time-frame as I was living in my last student apartment complex when I inquired.
Blah. I hate this train, but I have a nay-sayer ticket after all of the broken promises over the years. There are barely a handful of people actually producing hardware for the Amiga right now. Believe me, even though I lack discretionary funds right now to participate, I am thoroughly pleased by it. The prospect of a fully-operational USB system in my 14 year-old Amiga 4000D with an internal, clip-on SD/FF makes me giddy. If GVP-M can join those ranks, then spectacular.
Bottom line for me is that I am not getting excited over an email like that when I have seen one before in my own Incoming folder, which took more years to materialize than most sane people would wait.
If GVP-M produces new accelerators, that would be awesome. It will not bring them great fame and fortune, but it will certainly make a lot of current and potential Amiga owners happy.
hrmmmm but then, collectors trying to jump on the "Retro-Classic" bandwagon might be willing to pay quite a premium for newly minted accelerators. In better times, I myself would pay a nice penny for another 060 unit for my 2000.
I could probably have summed this all up in a simple statement. Throw your name in for interest, it certainly will not hurt anything. Just do not hold your breath. I have particular misgivings with GVP-M, and I dearly hope that I am wrong.
