That is one of the problems, the development costs. If schematics were available I know I and several others I know would be glad to try and copy the board. We do not have the resources to develope a board from scratch. R&D costs far out weigh the production cost initially.

Its so true that Amiga prices in general have gone through the roof Just the other day an A3000T went for almost $1000US

Ebay/Paypal seems to be the safe choice because if you use your credit card to make the purchase via paypal the credit card company will also go to bat for you and will prosicute if they can.

I had to contact my credit card company about a simular issue over a non received item and the seller after being contacted by them sent me the item that I had not received.

That's the thing: the CAD files, etching films, or whatever for this hardware must still be on file.  R&D costs would be nil.  Tooling & legal copyright costs would be all that is required.

Heck!  I know it's not cutting edge technology, but I could be far more productive with a circa 1999 designed 68060 board in my Amiga than I could with a modern (vapourware) PPC or Coldfire board that runs faster but has no software for it.

...and those of us out here who would LOVE a CSPPC but don't have or can't justify spending $800-1000 for one on eBay would gladly fork over say $400 for a spankin new one.
