IMHO I consider that if you are the seller it is worth whatever someone else will pay for it. On my last count the SX32 Pro with 8Mb of RAM and a 540Mb HDD came in at €608.28, that's over £500. End of!

At over £500, if I had one I'd be putting it on ebay right now.

Now if some clever person could make an SX32 Pro clone at a proper price, that people who don't have huge cash reserves and/or an Amiga addiction that conquers the need to eat, can afford, then I might be able to buy one. That would be nice.

I hear what your saying Cammy, perhaps another CPU might be viable, I don't know and I don't claim too.

TBH, provided the project gets finished (and it's going well, so it seems) Natami could make a mockery of caughing up huge sums for expanded (and rather old) AGA machines. I for one watch the Natami site with great interest.

Just for the record, as I know some people like to jump to conclusions, My Amiga interest is not solely "classic". I have a great deal of interest in OS4 machines too but Natami is just too cool to ignore.

That's a very good point and also IMHO, a major reason for the price of 030 accelerators for the A1200 increasing steadily over the last few years too.

For an AGA machine with CD,HDD,030 & fast RAM it used to be the CD32 with SX32Pro that was the most economical choice. Fitting an A1200 out with the above wins out at the present time however.

If Gunnar and friends get it right on the Natami, then that could well be the most economic choice for classic Amiga hardware we will ever see (provided it gets finished of course).

I'll stick with my A1200 for now and my unexpanded CD32, but with the price of accelerators for both machines flying higher every month I can see Natami getting finished before I buy one. I should never have sold my 030 for my A1200, I deeply regret it. Oh well, c'mon Natami!
