1time: Probably because I confirmed it on a1k.org. The ACA1220/1232 base board is equipped with Etron memory chips, and they are slower than the Winbond memory chips that I've used on ACA1231.

I thought it was a reasonable deduction from the clocks printed on the PCB. At 40MHz's it's going to be hard to push it past the ACA1230/56 if nothing else. I still want one for the memory tho. Decisions...

Jens explained, that the ACA1231 has special improvements with Burst-Cycles and the ACA1220 not.
You can see it from the business-side: why should he build a card, which has way more memory and more speed than an existing product? Nobudy would buy the ACA1231 anymore. Not quite intelligent, eh? |

Well it all comes down to a price
If he builds a faster card, he can sell it for more money. People who don't want to spend so much would still buy slower and cheaper cards. |

I'm not so sure the ACA1231 will still be in production at the time he releases the ACA1232. As stated the later model also uses slower memory, most likely a cost reducing aspect, perhaps to try and contain costs, as the memory size doubled. The entire truth is for Jens to know, and the rest of us can only speculate.

Man this ACA620 is sounding better and better. Put me down for 2 of those. This means I'll have to get another Indivision ECS too.

@Amigakit So you don't actually have any cards to sell? so why are you posting/advertising on this site about their availability, if you don't 'physical' have these cards to sell?
On a slightly different point: I noticed Jen has changed his original post on the price range from 70 odd euros to the new price of 89 euros!! Surprisingly 89 euros is roughly £71 odds!! |

@keitha1200
As the product description states on our webstore, we are now taking preorders for these cards. We started this process once Individual Computers confirmed that preordering could begin. |

Nice products
I've noticed that A500 cpu card has a 68000 cpu, could it be at least 68010?
Reason for that is WHDLoad, with 68010 quit/exit keys works. I belive that 68010 is as easy to find than 68000? I might be wrong though. |
