Ease off bashing AmigaONE X1000?

X1000 bashing is the only reason I'm even aware the system sorta/kinda even exists.  lol

Too bad the cost of the damned thing (incomplete or missing drivers, under powered specs, etc. aside), will forever keep it and the OS in an irrelevant state to most. Still, it's great to see legacy hardware such as accelerators for the 2000/4000/1200 coming out of the woodwork so people can try to afford one of these beasties.

Huh? Where's the A2000 accelerator? And I mean accelerator, not some underpowered completely useless 020 or 030? My last achievement was a used Blizzard 2060 which cost me 2/3 of a new Sam440ep. So much about "affordness".

Look around. Amibay, eBay, etc. More 2060's, 1260's, and PPC cards for the A3000/A4000 the last couple of years being sold than ever it seems. 2060/1260 still in the $350-$500 range. But yes, the PPC boards are going for crazy silly prices.

And hell, the "measly" 020/030 will probably forever be in more peoples hands than X1000 + Sam systems combined. Don't understand what's "completely useless" about either chip??
