ACA500 prototype

[desiv]

This is a problem.  The whole point would be WHDLoad.

If your problem is the 68000 and WHDLoad because of the QUIT key, then Jens has said that his card would intercept that (whatever it is) and allow it to quit.
(I'm pretty sure anyway, that thread is huge and I can't find it now with a quick browse)

I'm OK with the concept.
I'm glad that this is one of numerous options.  
Kipper2K's looks great for all internal and low end.  (No CPU increase, but IDE68K and 8M RAM?  NICE!)
This one, with enough RAM to run a lot of games with WHDLoad (more would be better of course) and the expansion options for adding an accelerator.  Also the new kickstart options are really really kual!!!)
Zeus, which looks to be a great high end option..

As they say, it's all good.

And I like sidecar expansions..
That being said, I like sidecar expansions with nice cases (like the GVP).
I had a DataFlyer sidecar for my A500 back in the day and I liked that.

I really hope there is a case option (and/or Jens reconsiders and includes one) as I agree, I think that's needed.

I have a sidecar dual CF HD for my A1000 from tomthul, which I like.
It has no case, but it's a homebrew hardware, so I kind of expect that.
Even with that, I'm thinking a Vic-20 cart might be able to be tweaked to make a case for it, so I'm probably going to try that...

So, I'm not complaining.  I see a lot of good in the ACA500.
And with the other options coming out...
Good time to be an Amiga fan..

I wonder how much 3D printed stuff costs..
I think it was Kipper2K (or someone one EAB??) who picked up a 3D printer recently.

Might be able to 3D print a case for it.. ;-)
(I think I heard a rumor that Staples (office supply store) is looking into have 3D printing as a service available)

(No idea how expensive that would be...)
