"The suggested retail price is 349 EUR. (VAT excl.)"

Edit: In comparison, it´s actually pretty cheap, considering that the Dragon contains both a powerful accelerator and PCI/AGP..

I mean, otherwise you have to buy a Mediator ( Between 140 - 290€, depending on model ) and an accelerator ( like 2 - 300€, perhaps more, for an 060 or 060/ppc combo ).

So in comparison, 349€ is pretty ok.. Now, if they would only manage to write drivers for the GeForce AGP cards... :-)

For myself, I can say that if I get the cash, I am most certainly interested in this piece of hardware.. It´s much cheaper than to buy an A1, and you get most of the stuff anyway..

Sure, you can´t run OS4, but you can play movies, surf the web, download stuff, use USB stuff, get a sound card, and so on... All depending on how many PCI slots it will have, ofcourse...

But it still sucks that you cant promote the original Amiga A/V to the graphics card.. Major drawback if you play classic games that hit the hardware... :-(
