No, only the reproduction of 50 boards were done in this time. No redesign, it is 100% original, made with original  (like the plane board) and some new parts.

Does anyone know why only 50 new boards were made?  Was it just that 50 boards were found somewhere and they installed the components on them, or was it an actual production run of 50 new boards?

What would it take to make another 50?  Are the parts even available anymore?

You now can see a bit more of modification because of the slim slot for the DVD, but, hey ... Pics of that mod will follow.

Hope you like it,

Awesome A1000!!!

I hope that my GB A1000 project will turn out half as well as your A1000 has.  Your Phoenix board is the original design that was part of the production run of 50 boards a few years ago?  Or is your Phoenix board one of the originals?
