for the 4.x market not, at least not in big batches. Acube is selling embedded PPC devices so for them it might make sense even when AmigaOS software not runs acceptable.


"We sell boards also outside the Amiga market even if Amigans are the most of our customers."

do you really think they can earn their living with selling PPC devices to the few AmigaOS fans?


Who has ever claimed that they are making a living from any of this?

From the same interview:
"Doing hardware on the current Amiga market is just impossible."

"The price is very small compared to the low volume of a production batch. We should have sold them at a higher price to get our investment back but we wanted to keep the price as low as possible for all Amigans. We also decided to build them entirely in Italy instead of China to better control their quality and also to give work to European companies."

Does this sound like people who rely on this to make a living or like individuals who work on this as a passion project (like pretty much anybody else in this community)?

I do not know how is it in Italy but as long you do not have got lots of money by someone else you have to earn it
How does operating ACube preempt any of the involved individuals from having other means of income? Do you think their Amiga customers require so much time that it would not leave time to pursue other activities?
