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 83 of 170 | ANN.lu |

Why not? It's not as if this is an Eytech-made product with enormous amounts of R&D to be re-financed. That burden lies with MAI and their providers. I understand that Eyetech is only concerned with the financial side of a production run? With 800 US$ per item, it sounds as if even a small production run can be viable.

A very cheap OR very good mini-itx board with PPC would sell just fine (for Linux, for MacOS). It appears the main problem to build an 800 MHZ board for 99 EUR is the enormous price of the CPU. Somebody should hit Mororola with a big stick. |
