New turbo cards coming from Individual Computers?

WTF - I'm getting excited over a 030 card... I need to see a doctor

I do not get why it has to be soldered, considering all the empty space there is to the left on the card, it looks more like a re-arrangement of the layout is needed. Or simply just a slimmer connector on the Indivision. And on the A1200 version there is no excuse for not having it socketed. And where is the socket for the 68882? My excitement has dwindled, no need to see the doctor just yet

EDIT: OK, the A600 card shown is not the end product, but Jens still insists that CPU is soldered, also on A1200 versions, for other reasons, such as warranties, quartz replaced with programmed CPLD etc. Jens doesn't want people to fiddle with it.

My interest gone up.. no need for socket IMHO, just add some mem. In my 060/AGA setup I never run out of mem with 16 MB, I think this one going to have 64?

Nothing is set in stone, but it seems like a 64MB model with 28MHz 030 and a 128MB model with a 56MHz 030 are "planned" for now. For A1200 that is. And the price for the low-end one is set to be 99,- euros, and 199,- euros for the high-end one (iirc).

I need to preorder that A600 version

This one is only 32MB and 28MHz 030 if I remember correctly.  For all the models it is still in the blue whether to use fully MMU enabled 68030 or just cheaper 68EC030, the question is whether there is any software around that makes use of the MMU. FPU is out, though. Also the RTC is not on board, but a socket will be present for those who would want one.

I personally would want MMU, at least on the "high end" version, for Linux and NetBSD use. But then I'd also want onboard ethernet

Umm... why? A1200 and A600 can both be fitted easily with a PCMCIA network card.

Bulkyness, the way the card sticks out, the fragile connectors on the extenders, the need for fix on A1200, the dongle that typically also has BNC still (due to the time those cards come from), the availability, the other uses for PCMCIA, all in all I'd much more prefer to have ethernet right there on the acc board.

But maybe it's just me.
