This badly needs the A1200/A500 form factor to be even worth considering. That and a lower price. :-)

- digi_owl 9y agoThose two options are at odds. Right now they are reusing a bunch of PC parts, thanks to following the basic ATX formfactor. Without that the price would likely be even higher...
- cmsj 9y agoThere's a lower end motherboard in the works, "Tabor" (which will be released as the A1222). It's still a PC form factor, but much smaller (mini ITX afair) so it could potentially be put in an box not unlike the A1200. I'd expect it won't be available until next year, but they've said that the cost of the motherboard will be around 450€ which is pretty nice.
- makomk 9y agoThe problem with Tabor, as I understand it, is that its instruction set is not compatible with the existing PowerPC Amiga code and hardware because for some reason they used a chip which doesn't support the standard PowerPC floating point instruction set at all.
