 Hi Caius !

Thank you for confirming. The Compact looks very fragile and service unfriendly.

H68k

It would be pretty awesome if someone produced some combined memory and ethernet expansion boards in small quantity's.. then you could fell the "lack of memory" and "painfully slow file transfer via serial" (if you can't be bothered to keep taking your X68k apart and hook the HD up to your pc) birds with one stone.

eidis

This should have been done a long time ago. Huge thank you to BlueBMW and Lydux who made it happen.

Hi Fellas,

I'm brand new to this forum, and the X68000. A X68000 ACE HD is on its way to me at present and should be here shortly. Hope it's ok as it was marked as 'junk' on the Auction!
Anyway, I have a Basic House KGB-PRKII (8Mb with FPU) here and wondered if you have a picture of one in your Wiki?
Let me know, and I'll post a picture(pictures) if required.

I'm probably going to need your help getting this thing up and running, so I hope you are all friendly and helpful! :)

 Hi X-Col !

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the forum ! ACE is very service friendly so all should be well. Good quality hi-res pics of the KGB-PRKII from both sides would be highly appreciated.
