Two MiniITX A1's models are on the way, both G3. The first one is very similar to the "beta" versions that was sold earlier. The price for this one will be $600USD/500EUR, excluding VAT. The other version will also offer some more features such as Firewire, Gigabit Ethernet and an additional (custom?) PCI connector, and will cost $700USD/600EUR.

Two new µ-A1's models on the way : Comment 55 of 170 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 28-Aug-2004 20:33 GMT | It looks like the reason the whole kaboodle is so expensive is the cost of the processor module, everything else seems reasonably priced considering the low number of boards that will be made.
This is 2002 mini-iTX level technology (comparing to EPIA800) but with a much more superior CPU than the C3 and the graphics are much better toom as is the audio. The EPIA800 costs around £70 new at the moment. The motherboard part at £130 isn't priced that badly. If only the processor module was closer to £70 than £170.
So it is an advance over the original AmigaOne which was 1999 level at best. But mini-itx has moved on a lot since. OTOH both are way better than a hacked together 1993 system!
I can't believe that MAI hasn't even released a new chipset since the original Artica-S though. How lame. |
