Having just read the specifications and projected price for the 'Troika' mainboard on their site, with a heavy heart I must say this is a cruel joke on the remaining Amiga user base. The way I see it, practically there isn't anything positive about this board, despite being a very basic minimal design, without any I/O ports except for USB and LAN, without Video on Board, and having a basic CPU soldered on, its' makers are still projecting a price higher then the Micro-A1 which, apart from USB2.0, has a socketed CPU and is fully featured, including on-board video. Who in his right mind would choose the Troika board over the superior Micro-A1 if it costs as much (or more)? I confess to having high hopes for this new product when Troika compared it to the A1200. A cheap entry level new generation Amiga, to make OS4 affordable and practical, heh, I was dead wrong it seems. At Stg200, this board would have rekindled the interest in a lot of ex-Amigans currently sitting on the fence, and would have bought a (much needed) surge of sales of OS4 to Hyperion. But at Stg400, it's a joke! Troika themselves would have noticed this when compiling the comparison chart on their website!
