That IS good news but the price of a SAM440ep motherboard is $691 US at current exchange rates. That doesn't include the price of OS4.1, case, power supply, hard drive, mouse, keyboard, or CD/DVD drive. At that price I can easily get a COMPLETE x86 system WITH a decent LCD monitor.

Unless Acube and Hyperion can come up with some kind of discount/bundle then OS4 on the SAM will remain out of reach of most Amiga enthusiasts.

I think the price of 4.1 will go down as bundle packages become available and the overall cost isnt that bad really considering most of us already have a a few cases, mice, keyboards and monitors that can easily be "Amiga'd" to work with Sam and OS4.1 :-D

NOW any of those yahoos paying $800-$1000 USD for those old ppc cards for their vintage systems will really be outta their freakin minds :-o

Do you realize that money that you spend on macmini is not invested again in Amiga.When all the PPC macs will be outdated who will make new hardware? apple? At least with SAM the money will be invested again in Amiga development.it´s expensive, yes, but is better give the money to a company that will develop Amiga products; if not, where you will get new Amiga products when all Amiga hardware companies bankrupt because nobody bought their products but bought products to another company that never will invest a penny on Amiga?

Very well said  :-D  :cheers:
