Okay, so the early numbers showed that a new SAM460cr (not sure of the speed at the time) was being listed at 620 Euros (nearly $800USD).
Now, the link to the Shop page on Acube’s website shows the updated pricing to be even better than before:
So, it was about a year ago that we heard about the forthcoming Cyrus motherboard and the new machines that would be the successors to A-Eon’s x1000: The x5000 (5040 and 5020). The new motherboards would start with the dual core 2.0Ghz P5020 and allow the installation of the quad core 5040 2.4Ghz processor later when they became available.

Okay, having USB controllers for your Classic Amiga isn’t easy to do. If you have big box Amigas, there are a few solutions, and I even mentioned one recently (the Mini Thylacine). E3B used to make the Algor and Deneb controllers as well.

Okay, another in a great line of community-built hardware projects: The Mini-Thylacine, 4 port USB controller card for all Zorro II and Zorro III Amigas.
A few years ago, there was a commercial product called the Thylacine card. The design was eventually open-sourced for anyone who wanted to build it. One Amibay user started making production runs in batches of 20 at a time (Ginny Flick).

Okay, here’s yet another very cool, community driven project to fill in some hardware gaps that some Amigans have:
More RAM (always a good thing)
Ethernet (definitely needed these days)
The project page is –> here <–
I remember first seeing this on various Amiga forums. Here’s the one on Amiga.org describing the progress of this project.
