The last thing I read about the A1222 was the following on amiga-news.de on January 13th 2022:

A1222plus motherboard

- Hardware works as expected, including network and audio
- DVD drive support still problematic at the moment.
- Board now can boot Workbench
- Performance like the original beta board: all popular software (e.g. Odyssey and IBrowse, but also the latest DVDPlayer version) as well as A-EON's 2D and 3D graphics drivers including the latest Enhancer 2.1 release are supported.
- The A1222+ uses the latest uboot firmware written by Mark Olsen, which provides additional variables such as reduction in the number of Boing Ball animation and generally faster boot time.
- Production start and planned availability not set yet: currently preparing early adopter production depending on component availability

The production of the Sam460LE has started, so it looks like it will appear on the market before the A1222 does.

After what I can see, the A1222 web page (http://www.a1222plus.com/index.php) was last updated in December 2020.

Any news?

Still no news on Trevor's blog. Maybe there's an update chapter in the David Pleasance book Vol 2 from Trevor?

Could not find any news from the recent weeks, unfortunately.

On the other hand, ACube hopes to ship Sam460LE boards to customers before summer (source: https://www.facebook.com/ACubeSystems).  8)

@cehofer

Are you asking if it is still available? If so,

It is listed here

Was also mentioned being available at Alinea and perhaps a few other places.

I requested someone post a more complete listing of those offering the system, but no one cared to do so afaik.

Challenge accepted.  ;) Made a list here, but will do some investigations with shops to hear about the current situation, so aim to keep this updated.
