Lines: 34 I just got off the phone with X-Pert Computer Services in Germany, and to my surprise they said they have a 50 MHz 68040 card available now. The card comes in two versions, one for the A2000 and one for the A3000. The A2000 version comes with 4MB of on-board RAM. Prices are 5900 DM for the A300 version, 6900 DM for the A2000 version. (Address and phone number below). Their Visiona 24bit graphics card isn't available yet (though they showed it at Amiga '91 in Berlin about a month ago), but scheduled for the end of the year. The version shown at the show didn't have a hardware cursor, which they said they would include in the next in-house version of the card. Programming info & libraries are available now though. (I got mine in Berlin :-) For some reason they think that their MEM64 64Mb nibble mode memory card won't have a market without it, so they plan to release them at the same time. I suppose they're thinking of image manipulation as the main market for the Visiona and that is of course memory intesive. However one would think that it would be good for the Unix systems as well! The person I spoke with said that their TimeHopper external cache board for the A3000 is available now as well.
