for some reason this reminds me in the Amiga market, everyone takes a price reduction as a sign the product isn't selling well, something wrong with it....etc.

Of course, that's nonsense, and a ye olde price reductino is always welcomed.

@MarkTime
Yeah. It's more likely to be an effect of Poland entering the European Union.
Woo!:-D

That's a hell of a nice price.

I asked a question on ANN, but I'll ask it again here as you probably spend more time on Amiga.org...

Is the Prometheus still being manufactured or is this a sell-off of remaining inventory?

@Darrin

At the present time these are original Matay produced boards. There's no reason we can't produce more in the future though, all parts are still available.

Thanks Jim,

I'm planning on injecting some new life into my A3000D and a graphics card and network card should just about do it along with a Zorro based IDE controller (I was bidding on a Bhudda controller on ebay a while ago at an excellent price, but I couldn't get back for the final couple of hours and lost it).  As I'm waiting for the A1/OS4, it's hard to justify the Mediator price just for "messing around" (hard to justify it the wife anyway), but this looks like a deal...
