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 8 of 170 | ANN.lu |
Posted by lurker on 28-Aug-2004 14:27 GMT | In reply to Comment 4 (Kronos): The base model surely is the €500 one, isn't it? 16% VAT makes it €580, with a
very tight calculation it could sell for about €600 with little or no margin for
the dealer. And €20 for covering the dealers costs is not really much and only
feasible on high volumes. So I expect rather a €650 street price for the lower
and about €750-800 for the higher. Complete systems based on those board could
eventually start at €800/900 resp.
All in all that's not to bad, one step at a time in the right direction. After
all these are the 3rd and 4th model of the AmigaOne with a 5th on the horizon,
where is the Peg III one might ask?
Eyetech's calculation seems to be based more on the real cost of the design
rather than (too high?) expectations of sales as seen on the other side. Fact
vs. possibility. Also the boards are still mostly targeted for AmigaOS and Linux
as a 2nd choice, Genesi aims at the Linux and BSD markets (which possibly means
higher sales than the Amiga market) with MOS playing a kind of a joker and
teaser for former AmigaOS users (a small user/developer base is better than
none)
