Hve you seen this :

Guy with Tabor running Quake Dark Places 4x same time

Linux...

it does not prove how useable it is when installing AmigaOS

Still, if it ends up priced less than the Sam460CR and availability is good enough that you can actually buy one, then it might attract a few users. As a secondary system and a "gateway" to AmigaOS, absolute performance isn't critical. Price and availability will be more important.

I have a feeling the Tabor will be cheap and affordable, especially after I re-listened to Trevor's speech at Amiwest last year. In that speech he said that they've made a big number of boards and that they would be low in price. Trevor then said that with an increase of new users, they would see more software sales. These sales would cover the losses on the boards. So my guess is £299 for the motherboard and £399 for a setup with RAM and GFX-card. Hope I'm right. :cool:

700 Pound are 821 EUR, then add tax and transport costs then price is more than 1000 EUR... cheap is relative

You got me totally wrong. I said:

- 1 x motherboard: £299
- Bundle: 1 x motherboard with RAM and gfxboard: £399

£300 + 20% UK VAT = £360. 430 Euro without memory/gfx.

I hope nobody accidentally sees these posts and thinks these are in any way realistic or actual costs for this hardware.

Seems unlikely to me too.

Can't find the original quote, but "700 seems too high" and "will be sold at loss to gain new customers with a cheap board" has been mentioned. That could of course still mean 699 + VAT which would be way too high if you want to sell those thousand made boards.

[tribz]

This reminds me of chinese whispers. It will be over a thousand euros by the next page.

I wonder how much software they need people to buy before they don't lose money. I admire him for taking the risk, but I'm glad it's not my money.

"Last year we sold 1000 boards and made a 5000€ loss. This year we've exceeded expectations and sold 10000 boards which has pushed our losses to 50000€ euros. Next year we hope to sell 100000 boards".

I would love a set top box thingy with amiga os on and games just autostart when you put them in.
Most people remembers amiga for games and they dont care if its wrong fpu. As long as it works.
I want a tabor if its in my pricerange.

Well if you just want to run old games, there are options like RetroPie and MIST.

The Tabor and X5000 are more for people who want to pretend they live in an alternative timeline where everyone uses NG Amigas

[Jezry]

Haha.
I did not just mean old games new ones as well.
And ofcourse browsing. Just saying there are alot of companys making boxes that could do that.
Maybe not with super 3d graphics and all the bells and whistles but still. Hell today almost everything can and  wants to be connected to the internet.
A small console like amiga under my tv is what i would want:laughing:
