That's quite daft, people go through garbage to find recyclables.
Not a safe place!
Anyway as Daedalus said, you get what you pay for.

Depends on 'where' your bin is located, if it's on the front of your property then I guess people 'could' get on your property to rifle through your bin, but then that's trespassing! Mine is at the rear of my house and 'safe' from any 'bin dippers'

Our local postman, who I also know, will put stuff in our green bin if no one is in then drop a note through the door, it's great when you have trustworthy people to deliver your stuff

I found myself buying one of these over the weekend after a few of Germany's finest brews. Damn you, beer and internet shopping.

Not entirely sure why I need an RTG card in my A500.

I'm entirely counting on Daedalus's in-progress zorro adapter working with my ACA500+ and this thing. No pressure.

A PSP (1000) series, for £35 with 2 games. I had a white one years ago when they were still being released and supported, then sold it because I played DS more. But I saw this one in a local shop and couldn't resist at that price.

Weirdly, when I switched it on, it had been left in "sleep" mode halfway through a game of Pro Evo 5 (Chelsea vs Everton, can't remember the score)!

Is PSP-UAE worth looking at on this?

You are going to LOVE the Matze RTG card! No FPGA, No effin around with cores, No stinking compatibility problems! Just a native graphics chipset. P96 works PERFECT! All just works in my A2K!

I just bought another A500 Rev6.2 mobo and another Matze RTG card for the same purpose as you. The fun factor!

And am giddy about getting Rob's zorro adapter!

Beer + credit card + internet shopping = "What's this on my doorstep? I don't remember buying anything recently!"

A Typhoon 1230 MKII 030@40MHz + FPU accelerator w/ 64+8MB of RAM.

Problem is that I don't have the user manual (just only for MK1) nor the SCSI II cable + A1200 backpanel for this card.

The only downside is that I'm now wondering about upgrading the ACA1221 to a ACA1233n...

I must ask a question if someone knows, how long does amigakit.com take to ship parts that they have in stock? I ordered some small parts for about 14days ago. And it still says on the site: "Your order has been packed and is awaiting despatch". I mean i order a raidbattery from the US and it took 1 week then i had it at home.

Just because the site says something is in stock doesn't mean that it is. I don't think the availability on the site is updated automatically. Some things are also built on order, e.g. some cables. I ordered a cable from them once which said in stock but it took 3 weeks before it actually got shipped.

Ok, 3 weeks before shipping is to long for me. I probably will stay away from them in the future then. Thanks for the input.

You have one major advantage in that respect: they're practically nextdoor to you.
