lol grelbfarlk,

For the Pi-Storm, Claude does not mind people buying a small quantity as long as it is not sold in mass volume commercially without his approval. I bought 5 for myself (as you can only buy min quantity of 5) so i have a couple left over. Joining the irc and discord would probably reveal a mass of information in installation etc. You could probably find someone to sell you one.

The cost of 5 is about $70 total i think, cant remember so it is dirt cheap, the price of a P1 3a is about $50. If you want to feed it to HDMI then that is also a cheap option using RGB2hdmi


edit, for you loss of ide i would first check for leaking caps next to the 44 pin header that causes corrosion on the pins, very common

It sounds like a lot of malarkey, honestly. I just checked craigslist AND amibay and it wasn't even on the front page of the appropriate subform. I don't want a lot of hassle just tell me where to transfer a couple bitcoin shards.
Also I would like it to plug into the sidecar slot of an A500 with a slick case like the GVP A530, plug into the PCMCIA slot of an A600, OR the Compactflash slot in the 3.5" bay of my A4000.

Ok I've got a set of p215/55r17 Michelin Primacy mxv4 with light wear, how many of these supposed Pistorms can I get for one tire? Not mounted or balanced, since you won't come and install these Pistorms for me?

I'm serious. I want to buy one :P

There is no leaking caps in my Amiga 1200. This thing is almost brand new. I used this Amiga 1200 for a total of a less than 1 year before I put it in a climate controlled storage. You can see from my pictures in my thread about my busted IDE. I checked the solder joins on the pins, every single one is fine and the solder looks like they are in pristine condition.

Have folks given up the ghost on 030 boards for the A1200? Everything I’m seeing is now 060 based, like the (defunct) TF, warp, ACA1260, etc.

Jens sort of flooded the market with cheapish A1200 030 boards.

However now when I'd like to buy some, he's out of stock. :-(

Yep, same boat. I’ve seen one ACA1233n for sale used, and he wanted more than the new price for it!

I would LOVE a Warp but in 030 or 040. I honestly have no need for the power an 060 gives, and the eye watering prices for the processors themselves are ridiculous, on top of the €499 for the board. But if they had an 030 version for €499 with processor, I imagine it would be a hit considering everything else it includes.

Title said it is for 68K amigas (A500/A600 and A2000).

I would be interested if they get one that work with A1200 as well.

Yeah, the 16-bit bus of the 68000 isn't an easy fit for the 32-bit bus of the A1200. It's a similar situation for the Buffee. But TerribleFire has a solution in the works for the Buffee - maybe it can be made to support the PiStorm too...
