Getting bored of being told about these new boards and not being able to use them! When will we be able to buy the bloody things?


They like to dangle that stale carrot in front of the waiting. Also the board looks crappy, which no doubt if it does come out will include Amiga TAX (ie a ridiculous high price).

Screw the custom {bleep}e and put the OS on REAL available hardware.

Oh I dont think they'll be able to sell them at 500 Euros


Easily. You can put any price on crap hardware what runs OS4 and you know damn well waiting amiga die hards will buy them (even if they dont come with a warranty/guarantee or any other support from the company where purchased from)

Amigans wanted it this way, so sit back and let them enjoy it :lol:

Yes. In the real world Troika has to compete but in the Amiga world they can charge what the hell they want (to a limit).

And I don't think people are so naive anymore, after the AmigaOne fiasco, so I'd be surprised if they sold more than a few dozen of these.


If it runs OS4 then all senses go out of the window. The Amigaone fiasco proved you can take a giant dump on Amiga users and they will wipe themselves clean and beg for more.

Price is not relevant:


Those hobbyists (using the name hyperion) crack me up at times, of course the price is relevant when buying hardware.

Yes but that could end up being a cheap board to the end users, which in Amigaland anything which is not underpowered and overpriced is a no-no. Fast & cheap hardware and the amiga do not mix.
