Kickflash finally available in the US
« on: February 26, 2004, 11:54:53 PM »
Sorry for the drive by posting, but I wanted to let you all know i have an ample stock of Kickflash boards in stock and ready for immediate delivery. I also am adding plenty more unique and hard to get items like Delfina Flipper Clockport edition.

Still working with the temp shop, sorry. Free US 50 state shipping is still valid.

Oops price correction on the Kickflash. It's $47 including shipping, not $50. It's been corrected.

For those who don't know what the Kickflash is, read the original specs HERE

and the final production specs HERE

Hi I just added a couple of links, the second link has the production version specs. It is definately a zorro card and has 1Meg of flash memory and a clockport for future expansion.

I can't wait to play with this myself, there are alot of possibilities!

-Edit-
HERE is the last discussion on AO about it. Once our final site is up I will be adding tons of information, time permitting.. Time time time...

Did I miss something??


1) 1MB flash ram: Any left over memory can be used as fast virtual hard drive space.

2) Built in clockport: You can use this for additional expansability, but it is recomended you keep available for when #3 comes out.

3) Flash RAM expansion modules up to 1GB are in development. With one of these hooked up to the expansion module you will have lots of fast virtual HD space.

It's Friday and I plan on installing one of these badboys this weekend for sure. I will share my experiences when I do.

Is the speed/performance increase really worth it?


Do you use OS3.5 oe 3.9? How many reboots and how long does it take to boot your computer? How much would you appreciate the convience of booting into other rom revisions(say for game compatability)?

IMO it is worth it.
