"Acube's primary market is embedded customer and that is what those boards are designed for."
People keep saying that, but its just not true. No way embedded customers are using these boards. There are hundreds of embedded solutions that are a tenth (or less) of the cost of these boards, and even at a tenth of the
price those other embedded boards have modern specs, not 10 year old specs.
I'm not so sure about "hundreds of embedded solutions" being a tenth or less of the cost. Embedded hardware for industrial purposes tends to be on the expensive side. I once sent a price enquiry to an embedded hardware manufacturer for a CompactPCI motherboard, and these guys were charging ~$2000 US just for the Linux drivers for the onboard peripherals! That's on top of the cost of the board, and the backplane, etc. Needless to say, they were dumped from the list pretty quickly. Nevertheless, they were solely selling embedded systems to industry...
