Now that the Efika costs €75....

[Everblue]

Where can I buy one in the EU? It seems all the usual places are still selling them at more than twice that

[keropi]

Now now... if they release Morhpos 2.0, it Efika might even be useful

Now that's one El Cheapo little Linux machine :-)

Too bad it doesn't run MorphOS yet...

[Everblue]

Maybe Amigakit will now tell us when they will start selling them at €75

It's only a matter of time

After all these years of flying the "red flag", I can't believe that I'm (most probably) going to end up running MorphOS on my Efika before getting a chance to run OS4.

I wonder what sort of reception I'll get on "Blue" sites?  :-o

I want one too!  :-P

I just dropped Vesalia a mail if they can already tell me when they'll lower the price. I'll inform you as soon as they reply.

Hmmm..very interesting for a mediaplayerbox. Anyone know how well it plays DVDs/DVD rips? Does it have enough power for that?

Porting AROS to EFIKA bounty is still open to donations.

Based on performance of such apps on my Pegasos, I'd guess that MorphOS would be able to handle it but Linux might have trouble, depending on how well optimized it is. I was really shocked to discover just exactly how much more efficient MorphOS is - files that would sputter and choke under Ubuntu played smoothly without problems on MOS.

The Efika is getting harder and harder to resist. I was going to wait for the MOS release, but I may jump the gun and get one sooner. If only the prices of complete systems would drop as well...

from what I've heard on Morphzone, the Efika is really bad performance-wise when an ATAPI cd rom drive is attached to it. Dunno the reason though. Best option is to share the cd rom drive of another computer over the network. Anywayz I'm buying an Efika system (complete, pre-configured) as soon as MOS 2.0 is released for it.  :-)

Love him or hate him, Buck just delivered on another promise.

Why the red side, all sides of the red side, refuses to use cheap, available, working hardware even to this day is beyond me :crazy:

It's supposed to run MorphOS 2.0 when it's released.  See this  link:
