Vesalia, 12+3MB ACA620, customer service

[brownb2]

I'm based in the UK and looking to order a ACA620 from Vesalia. I emailed them on Thursday enquiring as to why the ACA620 is advertised as 12+3MB when, as far as I know, it should be 9+1MB.

I'm not yet had a response from Versalia (or even automated acknowledgement) as to what this new model is.

Can anybody advise me as to whether it is a 12+3MB (15MB total) model, if it is 15MB what the differentiation between the memory amounts is for, and whether Vesalia is considered reputable?

So what you're actually saying is that this card isn't a 9+1, 12+3, its really 12+1 lol?
I wonder where the 3 came from...

What is the MIPS rating of that card so I have a rough idea of speed? I expect it'll be in the order of 3 MIPS?

So this is actually the same model as Vesalia's then?
Really I'm wanting the A600 to feel a less sluggish on the Workbench

We sell the ACA620 in the UK and I can confirm that it is a 9MB accelerator where one megabyte can be used for flashrom. This can be useful for speeding up ROM instruction calls.  Hope this helps. Here is the product description:

I will just make some checks for the speed ratings of the ACA620

Unfortunately as Vesalia didn't respond to my email I think I'll be ordering from Amiga Kit instead (or to be more precise my wife will)! Customer service is very important

The only thing I'm disappointed with was that I was also considering getting the ACA1231 42mhz 030 since I have a 42mhz Viper on its last legs and really didn't want a slower 33mhz ACA1232 (thus I was going to use Vesalia as the 1231 is currently only available from them). Basically I was looking for at least 7.36MIPs which I wouldn't expect the 1232 to achieve (although I may prove wrong).

Oh well Vesalia's loss is AmigaKit's gain I suppose.
