I ordered a 4060 Accelerator too.  I don't have any info on it yet, as he won't have one to ship me until next Tuesday.  I will post any findings that I find though.  I have a feeling it's going to cause a bit of a headache as I have a Revision B Motherboard if I remember correctly.  Let me check really quick..... Yep, the picture says Commodore A4000 Rev B.  So I have heard others are having problems with this motherboard.  All I can say is as long as it works better than the A3640 Rev3.0 I have, I will be very happy.

I don't see how the purchasing of these card initially funded their construction considering Softwarehut doesn't charge you for them until the card is in their hands and ready to ship.  I ordered mine 3 weeks ago and it has finally shown up and they have shipped it my way, I wasn't charged for the card until tuesday of this week.  If they were charging for preorders then I would say yes on the whole purchasing funding the cards.  From what I understand from talking with the gentleman at Softwarehut is that there is only one person assembling these cards, and he's doing it pretty much by hand, that could explain the whole taking forever thing, I think.

I didn't mean to imply anger with my statement Save2600.  I was just under the impression that since I wasn't charged on my CC until the card came in that they weren't taking the money from people until the cards were there.  I was unaware of the Paypal thing, as I only use that here and with things that I buy off Ebay.  I am going to agree with you on the possibility the money was needed on preorders to go ahead with the manufacturing of these cards.  I don't know how many cards of each run are left, but I am very happy to have gotten an accelerator for my A4000.  Now if that machine wasn't in need of repairs.....
