When people come and demand that i do things for them because they arent happy I will shut that thing down. Especially when people get snarky at me. I do this for fun. You can share if you want. So right at the moment I cant see myself coming back to the A500. But that might change.
For each unhappy "customer" you have at least a dozen who are happy as f**k. Problem is that you don't see those people as they are too busy playing with new hardware :D

Well we can let AlenPPC be the judge. If he's happy to build the TF536 once he gets i back i may reconsider.

I do understand you. There are people who thinks that they own you when you release something wich they want/get.

BUT idiots are everywhere and nobody could do anything without have problems with them. So you shouldn't let them take away joy of doing things. (Easy to say, I know)

I admit that you are resource wich Amiga scene doesn't have had before. There are plenty of people who can design their own accelertors, but 99% of them have huge problems of making code for their cards. Myself I'm eager to get accelerator for my CDTV, but I woun't be bugging you with my questions daily, or weekly or even monthly :D You cdtv.device is fine examble!! Thanks for that.

The only way i can do this is not to do everything. Not to make things perfect. Some features I deliberately leave off because it filters out the idiots.

Like arkadiusz.makarenko said, there are A LOT more happy users than unhappy ones, but the unhappy ones make a lot more noise. I do however understand your frustration. Keep squishing TF360 bugs, and I we'll see what happens down the road.

I wouldn't be surprised if AlenPPC will be getting a lot of bribes in the coming weeks. ;)
A kludge is a workaround or quick-and-dirty solution that is clumsy, inelegant, inefficient, difficult to extend and hard to maintain.

If I can get mine to work stable once it comes back, I will be happy to build a few. After all, I have lots of leftover ram chips from the 330, I have 68030s and level shifters so it won't be an outrageous expense just to get started.

Indeed. Its one of the reasons i keep the parts common between them. Saves having to have an entirely different parts inventory.
