Maybe it'll fit in the case I "designed" for my hand-wirewrapped Zorro/CPU slot adapter and Ethernet card!

@tone007 - LOL!  Was that a printer?  I suspect the pass-through on your HD would choke it.  ;)

it was a commodore 64 floppy disc drive :p

could have used a whole C64 though, they're basically the same size!

Unsubstantiated rumors and public outcry over something we know nothing about and/or have no intention of buying?

Surely not in the Amiga community!


LOL.  Never!  :D

The ACA500 looks bad. Why not redesign the whole A500 motherboard instead (like the Phoenix board for the A1000)?

Megamig: a little realism could facilitate your life, or is just computers :D Phoenix boards are sold in parts, buyer needs to find parts him/herself and solder them to place. Losts of work, wich can't be done automatically. It would be huge risk to Jens to sell them and they would cost more than AmigaOne X1000.

Hi everybody,

I registered here just to reply to this thread.  I'm a complete Amiga newbie, having just purchased an Amiga 500 from  ebay (hasn't arrived yet) to use for a "History of the Microcomputer"  class I would like to teach in the fall. While I've built many PCs, I've  never touched the inside of an Amiga, and frankly, just want the thing  to work.

GVP external hard drives are really expensive to get on  ebay. So I was interested at the first mention of the ACA500. I've got  several old IDE hard drives I could use with it, and so I guess I  represent the prime audience for this.

I can't wait till it comes out and will be checking back regularly for more information.

Ah, thank you very much! Just getting started in the Amiga community, so I don't quite know my way around yet. :-)

As Jens has mentioned himself: when it's ready.
