Would you pay €226 for a minimig?

[Krusher]

No, for that price I'd expect a complete Minimig, as in, supplied with PSU, casing, cables.

I'd pay up to €150 for a populated and soldered Minimig without anything extra since it's basically an fpga dev board with a 68k processor as a bonus. Which means you can in theory run all sorts of oldskool computers with it. That to me is the added value.

Give it time, once Acube starts shipping I'm shure all sorts of things appear. Beeing a software guru doesn't mean you have the capabilities to build or solder your own hardware, and most important, a lot of people just don't have the skills to build a Minimig themselves.

Unfortunally the shipping cost to Malta is very high, you can check UPS price list...

We may provvide a less expensive service via traditional (and less secure) mail service instead of express courier, at Euro 9.15

These are the official prices:

Minimig + SD card 1 Gb = Euro 138,00
Minimig + SD card 1 Gb + PSU = Euro 149,00

Italian VAT is 20% (if applicable)

I'm from Europe, can you give me the estimate on the total price? Including VAT, although Europe has not VAT thingy, but including shipping to Holland?

Also, why is this a mail to order?

No I will not unless the price is right, which is not. €150 including shipping would be fair enough. Ok, I know, this is a first batch, limited in quantity, but most people have limited resources on money to justify a hobby, which it is. A hobby.

I want to buy one and support Acube, but I have to eat too you know  :lol: And while I applaud Acube for taking the risc of getting on the Minimig bandwagon, it's not if they where forced to it. I guess I'm not an early adaptor. We'll see what's going to happen. Exiting days for Amigans? YES!!  :-D

[Krusher]

Oh don't get me wrong, I still have faith in the Amiga market, and I suspect that Acube would sell their stock of Minimig's in no time, don't forget it's also an fpga developerish board, so people who like to get started with that will also be interested. Myself, I can't justify paying too much on it as it still is a project in the works. If it was 100% compatible? Maybe. if it was AGA compatible? Then a firm yes.
