Re: availability - a victim of own success. ;) And chip shortage too, unfortunately. Re: affordable: I come rather from 8-bit Atari and - in my opinion - it is not a cheap hobby. Modern extensions like Sophia2 or VBXL aren't cheap, memory extensions also require some bucks. Not mention about SD-card interfaces, although they are cheaper. And re-implementations like already assembled EclaireXL or Atari 1088 XEL are even more expensive.
