In reply to Comment 32 (Olegil):

This board is surely nothing for Windows users. ;-) And it is also nothing for people who want a small Desktop PC. This peoble will buy x86 anyway.

But I think this board can find customers other than Amiga Fan(atic)s, if the price is realistic. It can be a good board for people who want to use it as a Mini homeserver or a digital videorecorder or Multimedia PC for the living room and who want to use Linux for it. This are also only niches, but better than nothing. But as I said, for a Mini homeserver Wake on LAN would be nice and for a Multimedia PC for the living room, in my opinion, digital audio out is a must have. And for this compact devices, there is no reason to give away one PCI slot, of only one or two available slots, for a audio card which can be easily integrated on the motherboard and which all competitors have on Mini-ITX boards. The board is only interessting for Non Amigans if the price is realisitc and if it have all features needed for a special purpose. It can find a niche in the Mini-ITX market because it have more CPU power than the VIA Epia boards and it needs also not extensive cooling.

And, industrial customers, who maybe want to build a settop box on top of this board, also need 5.1 digital sound. Im sure, if they exist ;-), this industrial customers don't want to plug an extra audio card in.

Hopefully we will see boards with this chips. But I think they will sell as much as they can of the first AmigaOne Lite board design, before they design a new one. And I think they should try to find as much customers as possible, also outside the Amiga market with this board. And for this they shouldn't save a little money and should at such peanuts as 5.1 digital audio out. Which digital audio out, this board would be nearly perfect for homeservers and multimedia dvices (STB, digital videorecorder).
