fair enough


That's you told!

Application wise, do we have any new apps? I can't think of any.

What about Frontier: Elite II? And Syndicate? Ultima VI should be sweet too.

Wish I had the money to get one, I'd be interested to see how much faster it is than the older cards - with that fast RAM on it it's probably pretty nippy, especially good for emulation, which is memory intensive.

Got a network connection on that thing? YAM is an all-time favourite of mine. If only it was available on Linux! :(

Both Frontier and Syndicate run pretty snappy on that card.

Hi, this is my new post. I am an old amiga user from Uruguay!

I want to know where you can order the ACA/1230/56. There is no stock in amikit.com not vesalia.de

Regards!

To OP

I dont know why everyone always mentions FPS shooters. Do some fun and productive things like Vista Pro, Pixel Pro, Image FX, Photogenics, etc.. still good tools til this day.

And lots of fun emulation you can do to with that speed...

Unfortunately I think the 56mhz version is sold out (someone feel to correct me if Im wrong here). I do believe there's still 42mhz and 28mhz versions available from amikit though.

P.S. Welcome aboard  :)
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Really need an FPU though..or Winuae.  The software you mention really shines on a 24 bit high res screen with a fast maths crunching cpu, and Winue fits the bill

OMG!

Why making a non MMU 42 or 28 versions? I already have an 030/50 with 64mb ram...

Anyone can confirm if it is sold out?

Regards.

Hi guys,

I haven't been notified about answers in this thread and now that I checked it I'm more than overwhelmed by your suggestions. Thanks a lot guys, I will look into your suggestions in detail once I got my new Turbocard up and running. ScummVM and the emulators sound especially interesting :).

They still have some left at http://www.amiga-shop.net/, I got one of the last three ones in stock :). Good luck!

Awesome, congratulations :). I was actually talking to one of the guys at amiga-shop.net, just asking them whether they actually still got some left. And he said "Yes, but only three are remaining and you are among the lucky ones to get one :)."

Unfortunately, I won't be able to use my ACA-1230 until I will be back in Germany the next time which is at least a few months from now :(.

Have fun!
