Terrasoft shelves MAI Logic motherboards

It's  news and related to Amiga.. And what it is depends a lot how much you want to have that or any similar product. To me it's interesting news item, and part of bigger picture around Mai, but nothing to lose my nights sleep.

Yep.. Looks good on paper, and has apparently caused 2-3 weeks of delays with no  information beforehand. I really wish these companies someday learn to make decent announcements in time. Ah well.. it's their product.

Hi Ben..

I think we all others *DO* understand. You have just realized now crazy  your own arguments have been during last year.. Eyetech is selling this very same Linux board in Europe with extra 300$ price cause of Amiga-tax you have innovated ... So just pay part of it to Terrasoft and be happy what you get from each system sold.

@DaveP
You forgot one important fact. Eyetect is only distributor of BOTH boards in europe. So Even if you are willing to purchase Linux-only board it comes thru Eyetech and they add their _tax_ into it.

@HyperionMP

I should point out that the above statements of mine related to the imposition of a Linux tax were speculation based on the fact that some people informed me that Terrasoft had attempted to do exactly that with bPlan.

Just in case.. Could you or someone else confirm that this Terrasoft product removal did not happen cause those new  Articia-S fixed boards were not good enough to be used as Linux Servers?
