Amiga Card PPC developing

[Nlandas]

So how do we get motion? 100 for each card to be manufactured is not a bad price point, if it's real. Can anyone get 50,000 pre-orders though? I know, depending on the markup, I want one. If they keep it real close to the manufacturer cost, I'll take two.

Very funny guys. You got me. I meant $50,000 in pre-orders. I was rushed and didn't type what the old cranium was thinking.

I would think that 500 units would be doable. I want two so that's 498 left for you.

Yes, I'd rather have a new board to run OS4 but for now, I'm happy with an A4000 with PPC and a mode promoting, video card. I'm short the PPC and the video card.

are you joking!

Do you really think thats a new PPC card will costs 100 Eur each? (to the "customers")

My estimate price for a small batch would be around 1000Eur each (if we are lucky)

Now come on - I didn't say they'd cost 100 Eur to the customers. I said it was 100 for each card to be manufactured and depending on the markup, I'd take two.

The guy who translated it, if he got it right, said that they wanted $50,000 Eur for 500 boards. When I plug that into Calc it's 100 Eur to manufacture.  If they even make it up to 250 Eur that's over double the profit and a price that I could afford.

Now there hasn't been any movement on it but I was just curious how many of us would buy a new PPC board for say 250 EUR? If it's 500 between us and other sites and if the original discussion is valid, that's more impetus for them to build the boards.
