No thanks! >there are times that i am glad my A1200 accel. card has 2 SIMM slots - >esp. as it was easy to upgrade to 8MB (just add another 4MB).. >...now there are times I am glad I bought a Blizzard ;-) Ya, I've been thinking about the 060 card, but then I think, gezzz A Grand just for that,,and that's without NO RAM. and the SCSI card isn't all that cheap either! Is it really worth spending that kind of money on my A1200? Then I think maybe wait and get a PowerPC card when/if they come out, or just buy one of them new Amiga's a year or 2 fom now. Gezzz, If GVP just sold 8 meg simms, it wouldn't be so bad, but I'm sure not going to pay that price for 1 16 meg Simm, not at what Ram prices are going for these days, while GVP SIMM prices remain the same or incress in price. Maybe buy some other 030/50mzh board. There more resonable in price these days. Woldn't be to much if I sold this GVP card with the 8 megs on it. I hate spending money on Hardware for my Amiga at this point it time, unless it's something that can be used on say a PC. like my New 1+ Gig IDE drive, my USR Dual V.Eveything modem, my HP-Deskjet 660C printer, even my Multi-Scan Monitor would work. I'm waiting to see what's acually going to happen with the Amiga. It's getting harder and harder not to think about buying a PC! Even with all the problems, and having to relearn how to use a PC after using a Amiga for so many years now. Oh well. I can't afford to buy ANY Computer system at this point it time anyway, not for a year or so at least.
