Sure it would have been nice if the Amy would be mnuch cheaper then the MicroA1, but I guess that is just not possible with so small productionbatches. To bring down the prices conciderably you have to increase the numbers by 100 times and there aren`t that much potential buyers anymore.


Hmmm... I seem to recall that a certain other board is sold for $499 with a 1GHz G4, or a complete system for $799, including a G4 @ 1GHz, 80MB Hd, Radeon 9250, Dual Layer DVD R/RW, and 512MB DDR.

Now if they can do it, others should be able to do the same, especially when using much lower specced parts.  The better question is why is someone higher up going out of their way to keep this lower priced, better specced machine out of the hands of Amiga users who want to run OS4 on it, even after there was an attempt to purchase a license/port for it?

But they were selling them cheaper long before they were sold in a "higher volume" ODW environment, if I remember right.  And no, I don't believe that they use someone's assembly machines for free.  Nothing is free in this world, much less something like that.
