@A2666
Welcome to Amiga.org, your first post here is most unconventional, most folks use it to introduce themselves. Amiga.org is a friendly place and I would encourage you to open a new thread and tell us about yourself, for example, what brought you to Amiga.org, what Amiga systems do you own, and what your interests are in the Amiga world.
I will correct one of your points: the X5000 is not available to "pre-order" and the hardware is already finished, manufactured and ready to go. Just awaiting Hyperion to finish the OS. If you want to discuss this point, I, once again, suggest opening a new thread would be better than derailing this thread.
I kinda feel like you are the one who's derailing thread here. It was about sound card that was very promising, well 3 years ago. And now it's not. Because there is no sound card.
And for your information I am here mainly like everybody else to discuss Amiga. What brought me here? Actually I was looking for hardware for my A2000. Any other questions I might answer for you?
As far as X5000 I don't feel it's even worth opening thread for it.
Now I have question for you: So what about that Sound Card? Is it going to be released or not? I just spent 1200$ on building A2000 and sound card is last thing I want.
So simply should I wait or it's pointless and I should just buy something else?
That is the only thing I need to know, just simple answer.
I want to purchase hardware I need and enjoy it. Preferably without 2 years waiting period and "Pre-order Imminent. Please check back soon !" note...
