How about those of us, who have ordered PCBs from Exxos'? How we get needed firmwares?
Sorry to hear this.

Re: End of all TF (Amiga) projects
Very sorry to read this.
The Amiga scene is riddled with dubious characters from a myriad of different aspects and agendas.
I can understand your decision, you ignited the marketplace for affordable accelerators which will always be appreciated.

Re: End of all TF (Amiga) projects
I don't understand why anybody would want to clone the boards. it's not going to make them any cheaper, they are already sold at cost!
I'm so angry and disappointed that this happened to terriblefire.

If i see them on ebay without my logo the sellers will get reported to paypal and will likely get their bank accounts frozen.
The clones look too accurate to be reverse engineered. I suspect JLC has leaked the gerbers.

Re: End of all TF (Amiga) projects
@terriblefire, were it not for you I would not have a decent 68030 accelerator for my A500++, also with the pleasure of doing some soldering of my own. So thank you for everything you have given to the Amiga community. My personal feeling though is that if you withdraw now from everything, they would win. Everyone else would lose. And all because of just one a**hole. I only wish now that sometime in the future you might reconsider.

Re: End of all TF (Amiga) projects
I will not be trusting JLCPCB again. I will be using a different boardhouse to make the next bunch of TF360s and i will be swapping pins around so that firmwares will never work with current boards.

Re: End of all TF (Amiga) projects
Not proven yet. But until i figure out what happened I will not be trusting them. If he got them from JLCPCB it means he has the TF1260/360 prototype Gerbers (which dont work without mods and he has no firmware for).
So I will be swapping some pins around if i do another batch.
EDIT: and using a different boardhouse.

Re: End of all TF (Amiga) projects
68060's just halved in value since there will be no economical boards for them ...
