Although seemingly contrary to a lot of peoples opinion, the non standard fpu is actually attractive to me. Makes the hardware a little different and interesting. No Amiga/AmigaOne hardware can come close to competing with mainstream hardware anyway, so at least the spes of Tabor make it interesting to see what you can squeeze from it. Having said that though, this is from the perspective of someone who can compile his own binaries.

If I wanted more typical hardware I would, and do use an x86 machine. From a pure "for fun" perspective Tabor is the most interesting OS4 hardware available for my tastes.

I just hope the quoted 400 euro is for a full system and not just the mobo. A Raspberry Pi, with Neon offers the same sort of fun for me as Tabors CPU, and I'm only willing to add a limited premium (still 10* or thereabouts mind you) to have that fun on AmigaOS.

 propably price only for board, not for full system

from here (Amiwest):

"Trevor, chief of A-EON Technology,  just announced that the upcoming Tabor motherboard will be sold for  around 400 EURO. Not bad! This will surely bring many into the AmigaOS 4  fold."

thats at least what has been communicated. and that at a loss. according to announcement the production costs shall be covered by software sales. given that the board appears to need dedicated software to be attractive i wonder how thats going to work.

I do not understand that too. I personal would have neither developed X5000 nor Tabor. It is a financial risky bet. On the other hand... not my money in fire
