Seems like a good deal to me

Cool stuff... If only my MicroA1 didn't melt on me some months ago

Since this is meant to be news and not as advert, I comment on this.

Both a USB2 card and a 512MB USB stick are available in Germany at least
for under 10 Euro each including taxes.
This means "just" the driver costs over 40 Euro? Normally over 50?
Not to mention that when some company buys a crate of cards they
normally cost less than what they are selling them for.

There is not even an USB-stack included, just a demo of Poseidon.

Poseidon costs annother 38 Euro and as alternative to the spider
there is http://uk.aminet.net/hard/drivr/ArakAttack.lha available.

I think of expensive too but Amigaguys can be ripped off easily;)
I would pay for a new compatible os4 capable machine with usb2 or usb2.0 -card for the A1 but the pc cards don't work strait or am I wrong?
Here we have quite cheap HW from competition even locally but Germany beats the prices usually. Alltough credits to the Amigaretailers but if there is HW more cheaply from my neighbour how come it can be so much more expensive at "big cities" ?

I understand the work but is there no money for getting quantities for a reasonable price from factories or a place where "everyone can buy twenty and get a discount" and all should then respect & buy even if a little bit more than from a "pc-store".

Still looking forward to buy a netprogram etc for os4 if ever available;)
