I put my A2000 away a couple years ago since it wasn't working right. But now that the holy grail of this forum has finally appeared... new accelerators! I decided to jump in and order the Typhoon. I'm also getting an a1200 to put it in. Fun times ahead.

I wonder if they take trade-ins? I might like to trade my 2000/060 card for an A4000 version.

My credit card has taken the hit for my pre-ordered GVP 4060 from the Hut. It won't be long now before my 4000 goes on the operating table for the transplant. Then I'll have a spare 040 CyberStorm board to try to squeeze into my 3000.

I got my GVP Ram in the mail today with a note saying that my Spectrum card will ship in 6-9 days!

I just ordered and paid for my A1200 030/40 with 16mb of ram, the PayPal request came very quickly and the email responses have been very fast. This is so exciting, I used to love the GVP products, they were built so well.  Wooo hooo can`t wait!  :lol:

The simms they sell are 70ns. Are these capable of getting the best performance from these cards?

I last heard from Joe on Friday, He had said there was a small delay and the Typhoons would hopefully ship yesterday. I haven't heard anything since

I just received a UPS shipment notification from Software Hut.  Something will be arriving on my doorstep on Thursday.  Hopefully this will be the 4060 or A1200 Typhoon.

 :-P

Hopefully that is just to the US. IF he uses UPS to Canada, he has lost a customer. Never mind UPS will probably charge at least $50 for this. I have e-mail him, hopefully its not too late.

Still waiting for the A1200 Typhoon, but got my 4060 board yesterday.  Not a lot of time to play with it in a working state, but I spent three hours trying to get the board to work in my desktop A3000.  *Finally* got it working, to a point.  Although the board appears to be in solid shape, I have to make a comment on the jumpers and their settings.  First off, most of the small jumpers appeared to be "melted", exposing the internal metal conductor, which seems to be shorting out adjacent jumpers.  On top of that, several of the "reserved" jumpers were not set correctly from the factory.  After carefully going over all the settings, twice, and disabeling "active termination" on the SCSI chain (which also seems to be stopping the unit from booting), I got the thing to fire up and recognize all the installed memory.  I may need to reload AmigaOS on my system, several datatypes and some applications would not work with the new 060 board, even with the 68060.library copied over.  I'm under the impression that I may have been using specific 040 optimized versions, but it's been so long I can't really recall.  One nice thing I noticed about the board is that the clock crystal is in a socket, it's not soldered in.  Currently at 25/50MHz, it should make it easy to drop in a 30/60 or 33/66 to attempt an overclock.

Joy for now...
