That is one tight little board! Great price! But seriously, (I'm not trying to be a wise guy here) why would I buy this to run Linux? And if I could buy MorphOS, why would I want that to run emulation for old Amiga apps (I suppose I would have to see the MorphOS GUI to be convinced)? Why, oh why, can't we buy AOS 4 (I know why ;-|)? Here's a couple questions; if MorphOS were ready today, could I run it on my Mac Mini? How would Aros run on this board? I was playing with Aros; does Aros have a file system? Should I buy one of these and wait to see what would run on it?  :crazy:

Sorry, I don't know much about MorphOS...  looks great though.

Oh I see. I have to be a PegasosPPC/ODW owner to download MorphOS. Dang. Or, be an Efika owner. So, when this new board supports MorphOS, then I can download legally? Just wondering.

This board is supplied with AGP right angled adapter.  It states 'optional' in the product text to refer to the fact that you can either use it or have the PCI slot free.

The actual motherboard is tiny - difficult to conceptualise until it is in your hand- certainly a feat of engineering.


@AmigaKit
That is a very tiny board! I can tell by the slot. What would you recommend as the best OS and apps use for this board?  

Cool!

I just asked AmigaKit about buying one at the advertised price then the price suddenly jumped to $225.00! What gives?

'er, I must have seen it in £ the first time....   :-(

With the $ tumbling by the hour, it will probably cost $500 by tomorrow! Grrrr.
