Relatively chaeap... how much is this card with all DLC´s?

80(card) + 15 (28Mhz OC) + 5 (maprom) + 22 (63mb) = 122
122 for a 020 card is not cheap imho.

This new "business model" is not good for the final user... lets see with the new a1200 mobos.

On the contrary, I see it other way:

You buy a ram expansion on ebay/amibay for your A1200 at about the same price 80. It is not new and has no warranty.

Then you decide you want an accelerator, but you dont have much money to spend in one. So you pay 120 for a 68020 accelerator.

Then you need some fast ram for the accelerator, so you pay 30 for 64MB.

So this way you get more or less the same and spend 230 for everything. You may even get back the 80 you payed for the ram expansion card by reselling it, but even like that, 122 is much less than 150.

Point is, it is a great deal for users on a tight budget (the vast majority). If you have plenty of money, why on earth are you looking for a 020 accelerator anyway?
