Hi there! Below I want to share just a few thoughts without any polemical intention...

I'm wondering what's happening with the Indivision cards (both ECS and AGA).
Not only they are often not available at the icomp.de website (the Indivision ECS has not been available for months now) but their prices are always increasing (the Indivision ECS used to cost 97.90 euros while now its price is 119 euros and the Indivision AGA price has recently gone up as well) and when you are "lucky" enough to find a used card you have often to pay more than its price as new...

I don't think that the components are more expensive than what they were in the past and even if I understand that the maker is free to sell his products to the price he wants I would like to understand why we should pay always more for an "older" piece of hardware. Also, why there aren't similar alternatives made by other makers considering that the request is always quite high?

I don't expect answers, I'd just like to know what people's thoughts are and if anyone has any news about this topic.
