As I understand it the price of the Cyrrus boards will be not much different (cheaper) compared to X1000. The price will not come down as long as it is not produced in bigger volumes and I cannot imagine that this will happen because it is risky for A-eon. More propably they will produce small batches as it happened with X1000 but this does not make the cost/unit lower. And a volume of thousands for such a expensive device? Trevor should have paid for a port to f.e. ARM or develop a cheaper and better system that attracts more users. New overprized computers make no sense to me. And for which market are the new Cyrrus-Boards? Most AmigaOS-fans who have the money and were willing to spend have already bought one. Perhaps some will replace the X1000 with the new Cyrrus and some will buy it additionally but how many are that?
What ARM chips were available in 2009 for them to build a board around and it would still result in an expensive custom board and it might cost more to add things like PCIe which I suspect isn't common on the ARM platform today let alone in 2009. Would those 2009 ARM chips still be readily available today and at what price? Would it even be faster than a Sam460?
