Gordon, thanks! It was fun demonstrating it in the recent Amiga Ireland and South West Amiga Group shows. We were slightly delayed by the production but it is great to get this out to the community. We hope with a reasonable priced RAM card this will make a lot more stock Amiga 1200's more useful.

It looks like great quality product and for the features that price point is to be commended.
A really nice touch is the additional clockport, optional FPU, and the 5.5 MB PCMCIA compatibility mode. I hope you can maintain a steady stock of these, one of the things I noticed about Amigakit in the past was the basic Individual Computers memory/CPU cards often sold out vanishing sometimes for months or even longer. P.S: Talking about quality products please consider sometime bringing back the Prisma Megamix! Last edited by Akiko; 13 March 2020 at 02:49. |

Is the 68882 fpu faster than the 56k dsp?
The INT, is that for a level 7 interrupt switch? |

Thanks all for your orders these last fortnight. I hope packages have arrived safe and sound.
We welcome your feedback on the card - hopefully it is making WHDLOAD games a lot more accessible now! |

Very happy with mine. I have only had it on the 8mb settings so cant vouch for other modes but not had any problems with the games I have tried. Was just a bit tricky to install but I’ve seen you have provided docs for it so that will help others
