mATX form factor A500

On the one hand, this thing is so cool I can't even.  I have lost my ability to even.  This is exactly what I'd want if I was getting back into Amiga hardware, not just for the baseline model but for the expandability and the ability to put it into a proper mini tower or even desktop case.

On the other, I mean... <25 made?  Ha, yeah, that's depressing as hell.

Well it's neat to look at pictures of, I guess.

Well  you cannot produce hundreds in the beginning either..

when I did my A3640 rework.. I also did only 20 as it would be too expensive to do more if they did not work..

when I had soldered some working boards knowing quality was ok.. then I released all data.. not before..


so I guess it is aprox the same here..  when enough boards is booting (hopefully I will get my components to solder one next week..  MAYBE can bring to Amiga32!)   they will do more..

you know.  make sure it works, tidy up documentation and THEN release.. (open or not)

Ahh, that's comforting to know.  I could give less of a hoot about making it "open" than "a board I could buy and hobby my own Amiga together with".

Sounds about right, at least in this community.

Yup.
