In these days,hopefully due to the holiday period,the Amiga has had a shortage of news,so this is VERY welcome.
I already bought a "normal" A1,so this won't be for me,but we urgently need new users, to further development and to create software. At these prices,I think we stand a good chance of increasing the size of our user base.

Very good news. But is 6 channel audio really 6.1, and not 5.1
Other than that, great news, and i too like the price.
btw: the 44pin HD header, thats for 2.5incs drives right?

One word:
Cool
Ok, I have some more words ( ): I would like to see some pictures of the µ-A1-I. Sounds like you guys managed to pull off the big one with that board. Bit pricey, but I will just assume you know what you're doing here
I would also love a glance at the riser card spec mentioned, has it ever been tested? I could get a good deal on the PCBs and if it contains no pricey components I could at least supply my closest friends
Edit: Ok, so PCI-104 is a standard. Didn't know that. The question still stands, is it PCI-104 compliant, bus-compatible or merely borrowing a connector that people out there already use? _________________ This weeks pet peeve: Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C).

btw, what the heck is a SiL630? Is it a typo of SiL0680? _________________ This weeks pet peeve: Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C).

I believe it's a Silicon Images680 ATA 133 IDE controller.
Actually, I'm quite sure of it. _________________

Would you mind if this was posted on the Small Form Factor website in their Mini-ITX forum?

Most of the people there are MS-Win users with a few into Linux.

It could be passed on to www.mini-itx.com too as well. They have mentioned A1-micro there before. _________________ Site admins are people too..pooff! |

That's very, very cool indeed. I think my A1-SE may be looking for a new home when the uA1-I becomes available _________________ Who do you serve, and who do you trust? - Galen |

Thanks, Alan. It's now posted on SFFTech's Mini-ITX forum.

| This is great news!
I'll definitely buy one or two as soon as they come out. I'll be interested in one for OS4 and one for linux. They could be good for IDS (or other probes) or other network devices .
I'd like to see them packaged with that great A1200esque case project I have seen on Aworld.
Available October - Yeeehaw! Rockin' and on schedule! I hope stellar dreams get a merchant credit account and a decent shopping cart!

| I dunno whether this is good or bad news...
It's nice to see new Amigas but I had hoped for a lower price. I thought the idea for the MicroA1 was that the industrial use for it would raise production so it would become cheaper for the enduser aswell, not that 2 diff. versions would be made?
