@Sparky:
Supply and demand. How could Eyetech possibly produce cheap A1 motherboards, when the Amiga market is so small? I'm sure the boards would be much cheaper if there was a bigger demand, however there isn't, so they are forced to sell at profit so that the wheels would at least SOMEHOW be in motion.
Besides, I'm sure that LiveWireSystems do not make any fancy profits on these boards and system bundles.
