well I went with a Furia in the end. It's at home waiting for me. I'll give it a go either over the weekend or next week depending on time. I did consider the A630 which is clearly the better card but I couldn't justify the double cost of it for the amount of use it'll get! I checked that the...

that's really good thanks. I do wonder how many of the issues people have had are really down to earlier firmware versions or SD/CF card incompatibility. I think I'll try a furia and see how I get on.

Thanks, that's quite concerning. Maybe I should consider the A630 instead, although it's nearly twice the price.

I'm thinking of buying a Furia accelerator for my A600 so I can play games such as Frontier: Elite II in high detail mode at a good speed. But I have a couple of questions I don't seem to be able to find answers for & would like opinions from people who own these cards. To use the card, I...

Declaring interest.ah ok, declaring interest. I forgot how things work on this site, it's been a while.

I'm interested, would you ship to the UK & what would the cost be?

Declaring interest in 1x kit

make sure whatever you buy, that there is an active community of people making ROMs for the hardware. You can pretty much guarantee that you will not get a single software update from the Chinese manufacturers making all these low-end Android tablets, they just make a device, ship it out as...

In response to the original post, why don't you just set up a Direct Debit? I've never had to do anything to pay my TV license for the last ten years, I just get a letter once a year telling me they've taken the money. Even easier than paying online.

I'd have done the same as your dad but I'd have put some insulation tape around the exposed wires first. It's not going to do anything as long as you don't start poking around at it with the power turned on.

Hi, I have an 8MB board with a 68882 FPU. PM sent! cheers, Paul.

To be fair, you can buy just the "barebones" casing for $250 (£150 today) and then stick whatever micro-itx hardware you want in there. I don't think that's too bad for what is quite a funky case. But I reckon handing over any money to them before they have guaranteed stock and are...

Well, I'm really quite embarrassed that this has happened one day after me selling the Amiga! It never showed any signs of failure when I had it, although it's been sat for maybe two months since I used it. It was left in a dry place covered up from dust though. I read your PM before this...

Glad you are enjoying the Amiga! This definitely works with an IDE adaptor and CF card because that's exactly what I did with it.

Commodore 16 was the worst one I ever had. Me being about 6 or 7 at the time just made it worse too, it was a long time for a kid to wait for a game! ZX Spectrums were lightening fast to load in comparison.
