They also charge £300 for an Atari STE. What a rip off, who would pay £300 for 1992 technology?


STs still seem to have a big following in music due to the midi capabilities. It's like the sitch with A4000s a few years ago when video companies still absolutely relied on them for toastering.

I imagined that someone in the UK had tooled up for a production run of accelerators. I'd go for anything better than this (I have the 25MHz version - it only accepts a solitary 8MB SIMM), and pay reasonable money for it.


Yeah we could use a run of accelerators with sockets that take either '040s or '060s have a couple of SIMM slots, or even a SODIMM slot, and have a mini-PCI socket for a network or wireless card.
