Has Jens actually said somewhere that there won't be another production run?

There will not be another run of 1230/56 unless some 50Mhz 68030 CPUs are found.

Individual Computers stated at the time that the all the ACA 1230 cards were a one-off special run.  Once they are gone, thats it.


Aww that's a real shame, I can't think of a single piece of hardware in recent years that has benefited the average user and for people coming back to the community more.

I guess unless someone comes up with a new FPGA based accelerator in future, then £70+ for a used 8MB memory card on eBay will remain the norm. :(
