Got my ACA500 Plus today

What sort of speeds do you get to CF Card?

I didnt have a lot of time to mess with it, but its way faster than the CF card in my A600, even using the same card to boot both machines. I plan to do a full review of it here soon with pictures and more once I get the time. I am thinking this weekend will be the best chance I have for it.

Yes, I think PC formatted solid state very nice way to transfer stuff. This is not nearly as fast or easy on most other Amiga solid state options.

Have a nice time everybody with the new kit. Take your time writing about it Chief, I'm sur will be good reading. Let the soup cook right.

Got mine today too!! This thing is awesome and mine will boot stable at 48Mhz!!!!

Best thing is the setup for the CF cards and WB3.1!!! Its an awesome way to set up new drives for other machines and get all the files over to it using the 2nd CF slot. They auto mound even PC formatted automatically like a floppy would.

I couldn't get mine to function at 48mhz for some reason (after removing the ACA1221 from it, of course).  I'll have to mess with it more once I have moved and have time for it.

I got my ACA500 Plus yesterday and my Mediator A4000Di Black 3v today I'll start building my "Sonnet A4000" pretty soon. The ACA500 is to be used with an A500+.

heheh Mine didn't hang out in NY for very long, but it did sit on someone's desk at my Post Office for two days apparently because the tracking bar code would not scan.  I had to go to the counter and tell them I hadn't received a pick-up notice but it had been delivered to them two days ago.  Took 20 minutes to find it (could have been worse, I suppose, but still.)

For those who haven't seen it, Jens and Co. send out tracking information in a PDf which includes pictures of the shipped article.  This was what finally helped locate the box.

Is it just me, or do Amiga folks seem predisposed to the kind of weirdness that requires them to take a photo of the article prior to shipping? I've sent literally thousands of packages, and receive hundreds each year as part of my job, and have never had this many issues. But lo, someone send an Amiga part, and it's got like a 900% chance of being jacked up in shipment, haha. :lol:

Hi all!  After a DECADE, yes 10 years, since my last post on this forum when I sold my very troublesome A3000, I'm back in the game with a mint condition A500.  Ordered my ACA500 Plus earlier this month, and i've been enjoying it for a week now. AWESOME card, very fast and my pile of Amiga games are very happy with the dozens of modes this offers.  I'm one very happy Amiga user again.
