Lets talk about A1222 - Tabor

[cehofer]

I disagree with the "Stock pile of x5000s @ Amedia".   They told me that only P5040 MB were available and I had to wait for A-EON UK to ship them out.  That was for mother boards or complete machines.  They had no X5000s in stock.

Thats what is weird.  A-EON is selling them to Amedia but not to Amigakit.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Amedia Computers in France.  Built my x5040 over the past couple days.  Amedia's Laurent and Franck are awesome guys.  They did exactly what they said they would do and were really helpful getting my X5040 up and working.

Any updates of any kind?

Yes,  Discouraging.  I read 3/4 of Vultures to Vampires and it brought back all the memories of hopes that the Amiga would rise again.  I remember going through Commodore Bankruptcy, Escom, Gateway, Amiga inc fiasco.  Not much has changed.  I remember meeting Jason Compton and Eric Schwartz at an Amiga show in Dayton, OH in 1995.  Jason was giving a live update about the bankruptcy.  The book was good but VERY depressing!  I am reluctant to buy Volume II.

On a brighter note, I have built my X5040 and been using it months now.  I got notice yesterday from Acube that my SAM460LE will ship today or tomorrow.  Just waiting for the shipping notification.   So even if Tabor is not moving forward, others are.

FYI, I received my tracking this morning for my SAM460LE.  So ACUBE is definitely keeping things moving along!
