Enter The Dragon In October

[Coolit]

Elbox have updated the Dragon status page today stating that the Dragon should be on sale by the end of October.

Elbox Site:

Update (09 September 2005): Early this month our Freescale distributor informed us that the expected delivery date of the first production processor batch for us would be 27 September. If this is true, which we hope, the DRAGON 1200 boards sales will start by the end of October. In the meantime our developers work polishing software which will be bundled with DRAGONs.

Excellent news!

They say it will run several times faster than the fastest 060  :-o

I see your point and would like to think Elbox wont put out a product that's the same "real life" speed or less stable than a 10+ year old product.

There should be benefits in quite a few areas, video work, CD/DVD burning, even surfing the net, but it wont be needed for old games and the like which lets be honest is probably one of the biggest pulls for the Amiga and makes you ask do we need it? I guess at this stage any development for the Amiga is great though!

Personally I’m going to wait for the Shark and get one of those as it will add so much more than the Dragon in my opinion.
