The only opinion of mine that remains constant is "when it's done" is not a release strategy. The A500 Mini's release date slipped 2 weeks after the launch was announced. This is tolerable but the lack of solid release date and lack of updates is intolerable for the A1222Plus. They can't JUST blame the pandemic and it is also sickening that A-EON kinda views it as a soft launched product already because Beta Testers had them years ago!

Any news?

Still no news on Trevor's blog. Maybe there's an update chapter in the David Pleasance book Vol 2 from Trevor?

Could not find any news from the recent weeks, unfortunately.

On the other hand, ACube hopes to ship Sam460LE boards to customers before summer (source: https://www.facebook.com/ACubeSystems).  8)

I think Trevor is more occupied with his new book.

I'm reading Vultures and Vampires.   What a depressing book!  It is good but very depressing.  It seems this is all par for the course.   Make huge promises, delay, delay, delay and kick the can down the road.

The Covid lockdowns should have been a good thing toward the development of the A1222.  What better thing to do than test, prep and make changes.  Now the lockdowns are over, you could implement all the changes you were unable to do.  I understand that there are chip shortages but what is unacceptable is ZERO communication since 2020.  "Early Adopter Programme (Latest Update: 7 December 2020)" per a1222plus.com.

I am an Early Adopter but I just preordered an Acube SAM460LE.  Lets hope they deliver in June or at least by end of summer 2022.

In all fairness, that depends very much on where in the world you are.

For instance, many of the dependencies for projects like this one are in China - have you noticed recently how they are dealing with the pandemic?

Best regards,

They seem to have set a time table for coming out of lockdown, maybe they run out of bananas for making banana bread.

Have they said how they are going to release a new board when the NXP who makes the 1022CPU has discontinued it?   Did Trevor buy a stock of them?   I see now why the X5000 is no longer

https://www.generationamiga.com/2020/07/06/nxp-to-discontinue-support-for-p1022-in-2021/

However, I do see them recommending the T1023 as a replacement going EOL in 2029.  Hopefully, they will have the board released by then.

They bought 1000 P1022 at least before they produced the beta tester boards.  I don't know if they have enough to produce the numbers required to break even but if they manage to exhaust their own supply it may still be in distribution channels for a number of years yet.  Most large customers will have probably migrated to something else so hopefully if it does sell well (in Amiga terms) they won't have too much trouble sourcing more parts.

This might be off topic but what happened to the X5000?  It was a little pricey but it was a beast!

@cehofer

Are you asking if it is still available? If so,

It is listed here

Was also mentioned being available at Alinea and perhaps a few other places.

I requested someone post a more complete listing of those offering the system, but no one cared to do so afaik.

article on topic

I contacted Amiga On the Lake and they said Amigakit has decided to stop selling them.
