Amiga Upgrade Options

[Buleste]

Just found the Individual Computers announcement of the A600 expansion. It can be found here under the News section dated 08.06.2006 (Did you know that Individual were planning to do a accelerator for the A600 which unfortunately got shelved in 2006?).

Nice find. So the product announced here is the one that was for sale on AmigaKit. I will contact AmigaKit to ask if they have any further info about this. Did it actually appear and did they sell it.

I already did a link to AmigaKit for it but here it is again.

AmigaKit definitely sold the A602 as I've found a post on Amigans from someone having problems with the RTC in dec 2006.

Just found this on ASB - computers website where you can get the clockport adapter at the moment for Euro 10.00. The A602 (I'll user this name instead of A600 Memory Expansion with Clockport) is out of stock but you can order it from here.

That's a good find. I've never ordered anything from ASB Computer. Have you?

The clockport adapter definitely seems to be in stock for €10. I wonder if it really is?

I had a quick look around the rest of the product range on the site and most is showing as out of stock, so it looks like i could be.

I'd email them first as they're showing BVision's in stock and they are quite rare. Have had a quick trawl through the site and whilst a lot of the stuff is :-

This product is “out of stock”, but you can pre-order the product, then when it arrives with us we’ll dispatch it to you.
Availability: Not available

The A602 is

This product is “out of stock”, but you can pre-order the product, then when it arrives with us we’ll dispatch it to you.
Availability: 2 weeks

and lets face it 600 expansion cards are getting more and more rare so it's worth just asking and if they can order it then getting a couple and flogging them on Amibay for a small profit.

I don't know how reliable they are as I've never ordered off them but I may consider it soon.

The A602 project was a product that was funded by us and manufactured exclusively for www.amigakit.com by Individual Computers

ASB will not have stock and will not be able to get hold of any stock.

We sold out of the A602 production run in the Summer.

Thanks for that information. I will update our Wiki page to include this information.

Do you have information on who actually designed the A602 project? I'm interested in trying to contact the designers and developers of such projects to see if they would release the PCB schematics so that others can use them for homebrew projects to create their own versions.

Will you ever be commissioning any more?

Yes we are arranging a new production run of A602 at the moment. The PCBs will be ready in January. More news to follow..
