Anyone interested in a run of an SD card based version of the floppy emulator?

For other systems other than Amiga, yes. But Amiga has WHDload which removes the real need for this.

Not totally.  Depends on what the "need" is.

If you have a HD and WHDLoad handles everything you need, then fine.

But I'm not sure what the compatibility is for this compared to WHDLoad.

If you have an Amiga 500, to use WHDload, you need a HD and FAST RAM (I believe).
Now, there are other benefits to having those, but they come at a price.

If you can get this for the same or less than the other, it might be worth considering.

Just some food for thought..

Cant win all the time

That just makes me cry!  

We don't see those type of prices here in the U.S.

Last A590 I saw on e-bait (and they don't come up that often) went for well over $100.  And that's without FAST RAM.  In that same time span, I haven't seen any GVPs.

And the A1200 as the upgrade for the 500 is true, but there are two issues there.
1:  Some people might prefer the A500.  
2:  1200's aren't as easy to come by in in some places either.  I know I can get a PAL model from Amigakit for $145 or so + shipping.

But, if someone can come out with a product like this (we are talking like with but with SD or some other type of memory for this thread) for some of us here in the boonies, there's probably a market for it.

I'm still holding out for a less expensive 1200, and I'll keep waiting...
