From their A1 page:

August 30 Update - Eyetech is no longer making Amiga One boards of any kind. While there is a few (very few) boards being talked about on some message boards and web sites, these boards are old, were DOA, are missing processors etc.. We will not be selling these as it is not in the best interest of our customers. HOWEVER, we have heard a new company may be making a major announcement on new hardware that is OS 4 compliant.

I would call software Hut and see if they actually have them before you buy.

I always email SoftwareHut first to see what he has and what he can get me.  Joe got me a Delfina card which he did not have in stock, which I don't recommend to anyone but the very brave. That is not SoftwareHut's doing.

I got some 3.1 ROMS for the A4000 that he had in stock and they came quickly.

I am going to be getting a Budha IDE controller from SoftwareHut shortly.

Like I said, send an email to Joe and see what he has.  Safest bet.

If I owned an Amiga business - and in 2008 I was sitting on A1 boards - umm.. lets just say I would be doing some shameless self-promotion on this site. :)

No - I am pretty sure they do not have any in stock.

They probably should have made the move to intel like Apple did.  I've put a request for an 8 core machine at work in the next fiscal year (June) to replace my aging dual core P5...   at the price of two kitted out Amiga 4000.  

Yep, 8 cores, 4 GB of Ram, a TB hard disk at only a little more than two A4000s...

I spent a LOT of money at a local Amiga shop called (un)Safe Harbour (which now sells ToasterNT and what not).  When they started treating me like dirt, I started spending my money at Software Hut.  I did spend a LOT of money there too.  I bought a defective CV64/3D from them once and they were just great to deal with in resolving that issue.  I got a new CV64/3D as soon as they got the dead one back.  Period.  ALWAYS ask before buying though!  I 'bought' a 060 accelerator for A2000 from Software Hut via website.  I was never charged; but, only after I asked several months later did I find out they did not have them in stock, so the order was cancelled.  I was told I would be notified if they ever got one in stock.  I declined the offer because I decided I didn't have the money to spend anyway.
I guess I don't know what more to expect from an old Amiga dealer that probably really can't afford to be dealing Amiga stuff anymore.  We are just lucky they are still around, and for that we should support them.
