Assuming it winds up at something I can afford and not X1000 prices, I'm totally buying one.

I belive they said boards will be in 500-700 eur, so kind of SAM range.

Boards is still only in hands of developers, but its quite sure you will all be buying Natami MX board.

Software looks like getting ready starting with AROS Vision 68k?

So it could be even late this year?

*The MX board features:
-Altera FPGA from the Cyclone IV-series, containing the enhanced Amiga chipset "SuperAGA" as well as other system logic, and the brand new 68k CPU design "N68050"
-512 MB DDR2 SDRAM (onboard)
-1x PCI slot, expandable to 3x PCI with a PCI riser
-"SyncZorro" expansion slot, for adding f.e. a CPU card (68060 card will be available as an option for this slot)
-DVI-I port for 31kHz video (one can connect both analog VGA and digital DVI), scandoubling function for legacy modes
-15kHz RGB-output/input expansion slot (for optional 15kHz card)
-Realtek RTL8110 Gigabit Ethernet
-NEC USB2 controller and USB ports
-3,5 inch IDE port
-Internal Compact Flash connector (IDE)
-Kickstart flash memory
-Floppy connector (Amiga and PC drives both usable)
-Amiga serial port (although reduced to 9-pin)
-Amiga parallel port
-2x Amiga joystick/mouse port
-4x Cinch/RCA connectors for stereo sound output and input
-PS/2 keyboard/mouse ports (old bigbox Amiga keyboards are connectable)
-Classic Amiga LED:s along with scandoubler LED

That lets me out. That kind of pricing will severely limit their sales potential across the board.

OK, but Mikes board which is multi emul. machine, but as Amiga is 020 28Mhz and ordinary AGA is 350 euros. Minimig which is up to 28Mhz 68 000 is nearly 200 euros with ARM or more.

In the terms of competition, Natami seems to be right priced.

If you expected high end classic to be less, just check how much are hardware 060 50Mhz boards for Classics.

neither wanna put these efforts down or praise them, cold facts only, all the best to the makers... but.. last week got an ivy bridge 3770K +asus mb + 16mb + 120gb OCZ and case etc... for £600... other then what I kinda need for work/hobby.. UAE with my custom 3.9 install sky-rockets on this setup :/

ps: after my half-hearted idea last year... i really need to think about selling my A hardware.... any early takers ? see sig

You are quite aware no one can`t compare to cheap x86 hardware made in huge quantities in China? And you do know, this time next year it will be 300 euros worth and year after about 100.

UAE with custom OS 3.9 would skyrock on much less e.g. my AMD  2Ghz and 2GB fast RAM.
