No way could anyone justify a run of a 1000 FPGA boards for the Amiga community... Also, if the FPGA costs that much, by the time we get down to the consumer level, the board will cost well over $300...

OEM's may not have the capital to make 1000 boards, but if they do not believe they could sell at least 1000 boards, then why are they making any?
How many minimigs have been sold?
The people behind natami will not be happy if they only sell 200 boards.
OEM's should bite the bullet and produce them in batches of 1000.

They want to make a reasonable to large profit, they cannot do that unless they sell a lot of boards, batches of 1000 gets lower component costs and enough boards to make their profit.

The high cost of a minimig is because their production quantities are too small.
