To high of prices on new boards

The lack of modern software means that most people would only use it as a hobby or casual computer.
Lowering the price might cause the current hardware makers to lose interest and then we would have nothing instead of more.

I suppose with the small amount of users there is also no 2nd hand market for people buy an Amiga without spending a lot of money. Perhaps some more Amiga clubs where people can try Amiga might be good.

All you need is someone working full-time writing drivers for all the new cards that come out.
When you compare PC prices you might also be comparing to discounted prices.

The SAM price is okay... if the CPU speed was double what you get. 1066mhz instead of 533mhz for the entry model.

It is seriously time to go ARM for a long term upgrade path. That might also avoid having a lot of the x86 expansion kludge that you have put up with.

There are a lot of people who use one of the classic emulators, but don't write any software (or buy any software I guess). The users are still there, they are just not as active anymore.

What you need is more advertising first. Just lowering the price will not attract users. Get an advertising campaign going.

I don't agree with the open source option. Open source will work if there are bounties. Linux has paid developers because they can make money doing tech support.
