[A-EON updates] The "Golden" Child - Nemo revision 2.1

[Iggy]

its not the manufacturing, its the R&D that costs money, so your price reflects the cost of recouping research and development.

And in the case of the X1000, you've also got to factor in low production volume into the price.

Duh, i done it again! This just isn't my day

Keas,
The design is not Treavor's. It was created by Varisys, which has some experience with XMOS components (and designs PPC motherboards).

It will be interesting to see how well it behaves in terms of hardware reliability over time, such knowledge will only come with time however. I wouldn't mind some opinion on the build quality from someone who has actually had a chance to physically inspect one of these boards, anyone present able to do that?

I don't know about Nemo, but i believe Varisys has the capacity to design and build decent hardware.
I was in contact with them before it was announced that they'd worked with A-eon. They have some sharp, talented people.
