Still, if it ends up priced less than the Sam460CR and availability is good enough that you can actually buy one, then it might attract a few users. As a secondary system and a "gateway" to AmigaOS, absolute performance isn't critical. Price and availability will be more important.


I have a feeling the Tabor will be cheap and affordable, especially after I re-listened to Trevor's speech at Amiwest last year. In that speech he said that they've made a big number of boards and that they would be low in price. Trevor then said that with an increase of new users, they would see more software sales. These sales would cover the losses on the boards. So my guess is £299 for the motherboard and £399 for a setup with RAM and GFX-card. Hope I'm right. :cool:

700 Pound are 821 EUR, then add tax and transport costs then price is more than 1000 EUR... cheap is relative


You got me totally wrong. I said:

- 1 x motherboard: £299
- Bundle: 1 x motherboard with RAM and gfxboard: £399

Maybe we'll see the "1222" at AmiWest2016?


That would be cool. :) I'm really hoping for some news on AmiWest concerning this computer.
