This is getting a tad creepy...Uh, can we talk about the NatAmi...  

Ya, know. It'd be nice if they sent out review boards. Just saying.


It is not ready for the mass market yet.  The pics there with Anika are of the second prototype board produced.

@TheGoose

That's what we're aiming for.

As a correction, this is the second MX board prototyped produced.  The team members will get first dibs also.  The reason Anika got to play with it is that she's Gunnar's daughter.

What's the current ballpark price for the board when it is ready?

That depends on the configuration.  I think the MX board configuration will cost about 800 Euros, plus it looks like he has the 68060 turbo board which costs extra.

The only thing different between the final build of the MX board and the current build is the size of the FPGA.  The factory that produces the FPGAs is in an area in Japan that got hit by the earthquake and tsunami so that's setting back the production schedule.

Even a day after the second coming of Christ?  ;)  Personally, my faith in the USA is waning.  Even with the Tea Party movement in full effect.  But this is quickly turning into a coffee house thread.  :hammer:

Hmm. 800Eus = 1182.72 USD. I just gotta sell some stuff to make it mentally easy. It is soo cool though.


You are thinking about this all wrong.  Gunnar's board is a prototype.  I thought the question was about how much Gunnar paid for his prototype board.  The final price for the MX board is not released yet.  After all, the MX board hasn't gone to mass production.
