- The ad was in the magazine "Datormagazin" here in Sweden last year. I just
- saw it once and since i wasn't interested in such a board i didn't pay it
- much notice. I guess it is/was made somewhere in Europe, probably Germany.
- Big deal... Who cares about an AGA emulation board that is outrageously
- overpriced? Buy a real graphics board instead, it will give you more bang for
- the buck.
- And... Just because YOU haven't heard about a product, that doesn't have to mean
- that it's nonexistent. You must realize that northern america isn't the entire
- civilized world.
