What happened to the A600 accelerator by Schoenfeld?
« on: July 08, 2007, 12:37:53 AM »
Does anyone know what happened to the Amiga 600 68030 accelerator that Individual Computers was going to build and sell? I wen to their site where they even suggest a retail price, and show pics of a prototype board
I hope someone has a clue about it!

Jens is *very* busy currently with other projects so the accelerator has been delayed - no formal date has been set for release.

That's just plain trolling.  I (like many others here) have a couple of Jen's Amiga products.  He makes good, solid and reasonably prices products (unlike a lot of other individuals).
A2000, A3000, 2 x A1200T, A1200, A4000Tower & Mediator, CD32, VIC-20, C64, C128, C128D, PET 8032, Minimig & ARM, C-One, FPGA Arcade... and AmigaOne X1000.

wow, Jens is the total exception on the Amiga scene!  He has done some every cool stuff, and honestly an a600 accelerator has got to be low on the list..cool as it would be

That fact that I can type this, is down to one of Jens products.
Not having a go at Jens but genrally someone producing products in the past is no guarantee of producing new products in the future.
Jens comes across as a good guy and I personally would be inclined to trust him.
I just made the above comment because Elbox for example, have produced a few products over the years but a lot of people would say the Dragon and the Shark are vapourware and will never see the light of day.
