New batch of Sam440ep Flex

[itix]

So let's make it a little less gimp, and say 200'ish.

How much did the Pegasos machines go for back in the day ?

When Pegasos 2 G4 was new it was sold at 499e (motherboard only) so it was not cheap. This Sam440ep is cheaper but also lot slower. Relatively pricing is ok.

@Kesa

Sure my macmini is cheaper, higher quality (debatable) and has higher performance when compared to the Sams but an Apple is still an Apple.

How is some Acube or A-eon hardware more nostalgic than Apple? To be honest I dont see difference. If you want nostalgia go buy real Commodore Amiga 500.

All these little Amiga benchmarks prove is that i am not a robot but in fact a human being with emotions.

I know it is difficult to let old trademark go... ten years I bought Amiga gear (games, magazines, software, hardware...) to support Amiga companies and so on and finally I had to let it go. All that money wasted on CU Amiga or Amiga Format, poor quality Amiga games and what not. The Amiga is not coming back.

Remember that those 499Euro included VAT and free access to the OS (MorphOS1.4x in that case) while none of it is included in the SAMs being offered.

Depending on exchange rates then and now these SAMs might actually turn out a little more expensive then a Peg2 for some folks.

Was Pegasos 2 G3 600MHz sold at 299 or 399 EUR?

@spirantho

In two years Acube and A-eon are gone and OS4 is left without any new hardware.

I'd love to know how do you calculate this, based on Eyetech lifespan?  Kamelito

It is just too expensive support this ecosystem. There will be a day they say enough is enough and quit Amiga market.

@yssing

Nah, SAM is just ok and current price  ~300 is quite reasonable.

Hmm btw:

I still use my A1200/060 no moving parts at all, doesnt make a sound, not even the floppies. Its underpowered compared to +3ghz what-ever cpu. But I still enjoy using my amiga.

But you rather bash those who want GHz machines instead of 667MHz? Hmm...
