Good new indeed!
I wonder how many accelerator designs could be resurrected for small-scale reruns? |

Dunno... GVP have recently sold some 4Mbyte GVP SIMMS to SoftHut who are now selling them on at the beastly price of $35 each!

Am I right in thinking that GVP are based in the USA, therefore aren't subject to the ROHS-compliance issues DCE would be..?
If so that's a bugger - no re-runs of the really sort-after accelerators. I can imagine it makes economic sence to do re-runs of old designs when there's enough demand but not if a redesign is required... |

Great Valley Products - GVP-M
April 2, 2009 Update - Software Hut and GVP have teamed to bring back many popular GVP products for the Amiga at new, lower prices. These are newly made production pieces with a full 1 year warranty.

GVP 4MB and 16MB 60ns RAM Module GVP 4060DT GVP A2000 060 Accelerator GVP Spectrum Graphics Board GVP Typhoon A1200 030 40MHz Accelerator I owned a Spectrum RTG card and thought it ruled. Just as good as the better known cards I think. Also I think I read somewhere that the new GVP cards can take 72pin simms. Last edited by Smiley; 06 April 2009 at 20:34. |

New Great Valley Products Announced
Hi all,
I found this information: http://www.softhut.com/cgi-bin/test/...=1014812_61311 If this is really new stuff...I have my doubts but that's goods for those you still want to upgrade their Migs! |

As far as I remember GVP products always needed expensive, hard to find memory modules for expansion, making them not a very good buy in my opinion.
Best to invest that kind of money in a Blizzard, Apollo or Microbotics. |

you should also keep in mind that all the apollos or blizzards are over 10th year of their life time now though the GVP stuff is new.
