Terrasoft's site looks to me as if it hasn't been fully updated, as there's no way they can sell the PX for the same prix as the CX and make money on it. They do have to eat, after all.

I just got a confirmation from Kai Staats that this is no typo, if something unforeseen happens it may go up by $50 but not more.
Mai used to charge $300 for the CX without a CPU, and the PX is neglibly more expensive to do (extra component costs: a MEG-Array connector and an ATX audio header = a few bucks). The main price difference lies in the CPUs (the PX CPU module PCBs cost a couple of extra bucks to do too).

As I've said before, there's no reason to keep making the CX ("AmigaOne SE") now. It wasn't all too suitable as a consumer board to begin with, and the PX fills its niche very well without being more expensive.

The OS4 enabler kit (to make a LinuxOne OS4
compatible, fully licenced etc.) is available for
160EUR from Vesalia. So for TS (if the price was
right) would be 660eur for a 64/800MHz Boxer with a
OS4 licence.

Except that the Boxer won't come with an OS4 licence.

Neither do the Teron PXes that Eyetech will sell at a recommended price of 800 Euro.

Not forgetting that the update kit also comprises a new firmware chip, the extractor tool and a legal copy of OS4.

What's the actual story on this? Nobody seems to know for sure. Will the dongle code be in the same reflashable *PROM as the firmware, or in a separate socketed ROM?

Other commercial OSes cost more than 160 euros inc VAT for the OS alone,

Yeah, for that price I can think of several high-end corporate server OSes...

and you've already paid for the licence with your mobo, whether you wanted to or not.

800 Euros apparently don't get you AmigaOS.

$499 gets you a boxed and supported copy of YDL.

Has anyone else noticed the illustration Picture Terrasoft use for the
Teron PX is a Teron CX.

Yup. TS says the final PXes are still in fabbing, so they haven't had an opportunity for a new photoshoot. Also, there's no mention of the on-board audio ("Yes, we are aware of this. I have not had time to update all of the information.").
