Going back to the original topic:

I would like to see from Jens an A1200 68030 accelerator that had a socket for an optional FPU and that didnt require any mysterious motherboard fix to work, nor custom software to switch it on.

It would also be nice if it could have a real time clock built-in, and not available separately (which now costs more than 10% of the value of the accelerator itself).

21 years ago a company did that (Phase 5), but somehow, today (2014), it seems it cant be done for some odd reason that eludes me.

And hey, I am not even talking about a SCSI interface!

I just dont get it why we get inferior products despite all the technical progress that has been done in these past decades.

Why not a standard sata interface so we don't have to hunt down expensive, small, failing scsi drives (which for example I have huge trouble finding here) or scside adapters worth $250.


Because despite being the year 2014, we still get something worst than what was available in 1993!
