eightbit Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I have been looking for an accelerator card for awhile now. I am not about to (nor can I afford) an ebay priced TranswarpGS. People had told me "just check some IIGS systems and you might get lucky", but good luck with that. I can't even find IIGS systems to check! I lucked out bigtime with finding one locally (a mint ROM3 version) and finding an affordable CFFA3000 so I really cannot complain....but damn man. You open the first IIGS and find one? If you find one in the five other machines you obtained I give up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_sudo Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 If I find that many it sounds like I'll have to take a few years to sell them all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I don't know why nobody tries producing an accelerator card today. I guess it's too complicated? Seems like there's an obvious market for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 It's still pretty niche. Technically a IIgs accelerator shouldn't be much different than any other. More complex circuits have been made by hobbyists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) It seems like it'd be less niche than memory cards or sound boards, though, and we have both of those. I feel like for the Apple IIGS especially, accelerator cards would end up being considered kind of a must-have item if one were readily available, similar to the CFFA3000. Come on, somebody do it!

MarkO Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Where would an Echo+ fit in? I have one with the installation disk. There is a "new" Game that supports the Echo+: Alien Clonepure With graphics "borrowed from Michael Packard's Alien Downpour..
