Once I get my x5000 5040 i will be glad to be a beta tester.  Just contact me.  I also have a4T, a4kDs a2000 that I can do a lot of legacy testing if needed as well.

@cehofer

Since no one really knows the X5000/40 is available then the diehards that do buy them are all technically beta testers anyway!

@Rob

Since I can now play Wipeout 2097 with the superior PS1 soundtrack on THEA500 Mini I fail to see what I'd use MorphOS for despite it looking cool! As already shared I really yearn for updated Amiga programs rather than playing BOH or Spencer on an AmigaNG!

I bought a case for the A1222 five years ago.

I think we can call this a no-go. Not sure what I was even thinking back then.

Yeah I am surprised some lawyer hasn't pushed a class-action lawsuit on this one. 
I mean with all of the litigation around Amiga and its trademarks, an additional class action suit would be pretty epic...
LOL

Seriously though I went back and looked at this sad thread and noticed the following posted made by me last April:

"Time for my yearly question regarding the A1222 Tabor.
Another year has gone by with little to no information provided.

  • Is this thing still being worked on?
  • Will it ever see the light of day?
  • Will Trevor ever update his Amiga Blog?

These are the things Amiga users need to know..
Please advise"

So another year and we are left scratching our heads over the A1222 and wondering if Trevor cares about his customers (Or if he is even ALIVE at this point as absolutely NOTHING on his blog since what Oct of last year?)

Hey Trev did you fall off a cliff or something?  Hello? [/list]

Back in March in a thread over at Amigans Matthew said that Hyperion were still yet to present him with an ISO for Tabor/A1222.

Blame Canada... I mean Hyperion!

Now AmiKit know what it feels like to be kept waiting or ignored!

So while I have the chance;

Dear AmigaKit,

Are you planning to populate the mobos you have to produce the CD32 compatible joystick/mouse switchers any time soon?

Product Code: JOYMSESW2

Secondly, is the Rapid Road A1200 Edition compatible with the clock port on the Prisma MegaMix?

I thank you in advance for your prompt reply.

P.S. All the best with the A1222 Plus launch, I hear it's getting close?

God bless

They might not have all the hardware available to test if it works with Prisma so would probably rely on user feedback to know what's compatible and what isn't.  Since all dealers seem to be sold out, it's a bit of a redundant question really.

Have you considered calling them in the phone regarding the mouse switchers?

As far as I know both questions are still open tickets with AmigaKit. I have asked both questions multiple times both using their customer support web page and on forums. They refuse to answer irrespective of whether they have unpopulated switcher mobos in stock (they do) or have Prisma Megamix boards in stock (they have had them in stock when I've asked previously).

As always their achilles heel is communication. This is why RetroPassion is doing so well! He is a great communicator and eager to please. Matthew and Co. less so IMHO.

Dear AmigaKit,

If you want to sell me an unpopulated switcher mobo I'd be interested; how much?

If you want me to buy an A1222 Plus when Hyperion start playing nice again be more nice to us and answer our questions and order queries this decade!

And after those completely non-related questions and topics can we return to the question at hand?  The A1222?

@outlawal2

How rude! The "unrelated questions" were used to demonstrate how you are unlikely to get ANY response from AmigaKit irrespective of the fact that they presumably want to actuallly SELL a few of these boards to customers who TRUST them to deliver!

Read between the lines to see what I am saying! Please!

P.S. Trevor has made it clear that it is now Matthew's responsibility to deliver the A1222 Plus NOT his. Don't put this on Trevor as he got Varisys to design it and then he paid Varisys for the design outright in perpetuity and then paid for the redesign and protoyping with ACube! Trevor has done his bit at this point.

Additionally, Trevor has been helping David Pleasance write an Amiga book and has ongoing commitments with his investment angel thing! He is not dead. The question should be is System 54 worth Matthew's time or should he be focusing on customer service before there are no customers!

@BozzerBigD

I know what you mean about questions not being answered for tickets/requests/questions put in on their website, as I have experienced that myself but rather than slag them off/complain on a forum such as this, just call them.

Someone will certainly answer your query in a courteous manner - again, from experience.

Try it - it works!
