It's dead, Jim.

Surprisingly there is an update on
Trevors http://blog.a-eon.biz/blog/

we agreed with ACube to double the initial production order in an attempt to secure a lower price per unit. Enrico's latest news is the factory that made the prototype A1222+ boards is tied up until next year and another company he approached quoted double the original price. Enrico is waiting for quotes from two other manufacturers

One small micro-controller which costs $6.83 each in batches of 100+ is only available for delivery at the end of 2023. Although it can be purchased now from another trade supplier for the extortionate price of ~$420 each. The original A1222 board designer confirmed that he is experiencing problems with the supply of similar chip components for his current projects

I am pretty sure they could have sold all Tabor boards even without AmigaOS just with Linux instead, if they had produced several hundred.

It seems the AAA Early Adopter buyers get only a mere 100€ discount on the 1200€ (new) board price for the revisited A1222+ instead of the "promised" below 500€ price.

Bummer.
