There is also a new expansion for his boarddesign .. 2GB CF-Drive for the frontdoor.

I wish they were for sale, but fear that they never will. I am actually surprised that he is still working on improving his design.  I think I read that his first design cost him thousands to produce, I think around $10,000 to design and manufacture the prototype.  Maybe this second (or is it third) version is less costly, I do not know.  But I would love to have one, the A1000 is the best!

His first prototype costs him less than 1000 Euros.
Rev.01 is costs him arround 250 Euros.
But this is only the PCB .. unsoldered without ICs.

Its up to everyone to use his eagle-files, they are for free.
But you have to butch some old Amigas for some parts.

BTW.: If there are resellers out there, that are interessted in his board, contact him.
Higher quantities can drop the price !
