Is price too high or is it more about availability?

Anyway, how many 030 do you expect to have, and £50 or so is too high price?

Generally speaking 030s are now about $50 usd while the LC060s are $40... complete insanity but here we are.

Plus like i said.. I'm actually done with Amiga accelerators. Once the current crop are sorted out there will be no more.
Does the current crop include the TF4060 or is it just the ones that are out ATM :?: would be nice to have all the Amigas TF'ed up :)

Sad face, as much as I like the PiStorm, I would never replace my TF’s with them.

Price based on demand and availability. This nostalgia thing is quote powerful.

I dont really see whats missing TF wise in the Amiga range. Except for the A600...

Tested the RC1 firmware on my TF1230 with A1200 2B - all OK!
Tested EHIDE - works fine too! I got around 3MB/s vs the 5.5MB/s the TF1260 gives with that same card.
Great work =D Performance looks much like TF330 and TF536 =D

I never got around to using the eide on the 1260, went to test it on the 1230 and started scratching the old noggin do you simply use a boot disk to get the driver installed or is there a better way :?:
