Having decided that the new Amiga needed cutting edge hardware to promote OS 4 and with current market forces AMICUS had to be scaled back and a possible production run of the new motherboard (Bellow) put back to the first qaurter of 07.The initial pricing will be around $750.32 .The motherboard will come in ATX and Mini ITX and i will make sure you cannot fit it in a A500,A600 or A1200 case and to keep MOS users and AOS happy comes in a colour combination of Red White & Blue.



Specs of the new motherboard can be found here

@BADHead

I like especially the fact that it is passively cooled.

@BADHead

Unless white gets as many rows as red/blue i am not buying it.

My concern is, of course, in regard to availability of replacement parts.
What happens in the event of a "bead" breakage?

I voted 'Price too high'. If it was just $749.86, I'd buy one TODAY!!!!11!

OK. THAT problem solved.
Then what about the networking issues with other abacuses?
Will it be entirely compatible with those using "plastic" beads?

Edit(Added):Re-read spec sheet and changed "wooden" to "plastic".

Nah, there will most likely be a network kit, sold seperatly at a fraction of Microsofts total assets.

I just KNEW it!. A hidden charge. Now THAT affects the entire cost equation.

Not to worry. Extra rods and beads available for a modest sum.
Assuming, of course, that you were referring to the math processor.

The product is tilting, wonder if it is an autoreset or a case of bad QA. I am still unsure if i can use it from all sides though, maybe there could be a transparent unit aswell.

@Severin

Sorry to have to mention that early reports from beta testers using this model
say that the unit was made a little too small and, as a result, the "beads"
are directly hitting the hardware.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, there will probably be a harware fix available for the old boards and I'm sure the problem will be solved for the 'µAMICUS'

Well, uh, OK. Just so its entirely backward compatible with my early evaluation
board which only has 3 rows of beads.
