| @OlafS25: I didn“t say it is a success, but it isn“t "a great dissapointment" either.
They offer a small batch (with uncertain status of drivers/OS at time of delivery) in addition to a software-bundel and will sell all boards of this batch.
I think there is a higher demand, but most people will wait for the "real" production-start with finished drivers etc.
And there where obviuos some issues at the start (order-website delayed, confusion about the AAA-bundle at the beginning etc.).

Have I missed something? The Vampire A1200 Version was launched by stealth?! Not heard anything about it on the regular news channels and as far as I'm concerned the standalone is missing in action too despite being to Amiga shows. At least A-EON have courted the Amiga mainstream a bit more IMHO._________________ "Art challenges technology. Technology inspires the art." John Lasseter, Co-Founder of Pixar Animation Studios |

I would have expected higher demand after years without any affordable hardware. Perhaps I am wrong and most are still waiting for the final product. Or the demand is low now. We will see in a year or so. |

You are wrong as usual. i was there and bought one of the cards and they did not have 100 cards to sell. it was more like 30-40 cards. they would have sold thousands if there were more cards available.
anyway... 100 preorders of the a1222 is still alot more than the entire aros userbase. |

That is my guess, but I could be wrong, of course. Time will tell _________________ AmigaOne X5000/40, 2.2 Ghz, 4 GB RAM, Radeon R9 280X, M-Audio Revolution 5.1, 240 GB SSD |

| I agree with some of the comments the site launch and AAA bundle should of been handled a bit better and made clearer, but still this is great news, they just collected £9,900 in 3 weeks(£99x100), not bad for a supposed dead platform.
I do hope A1222 makes the OS4 market a bit more lively, apart from the odd game port, I feel not too much happen with Os4 in a while.
Im not holding my breath for OS4.2 any time soon, but LiberOffice and maybe a browser update would be nice Last edited by amigang on 22-Jan-2020 at 02:53 PM.

Where is Quake 3 benchmark to prove this point is only a rumour?
Once Tabor is available for end users, I will buy one. However, I really hope there will be not another "early adopter" campaign. That alone dissuaded me from taking part in such a lottery. |

This is why interest for Tabor can't really be judged based on the "AAA" bundle. If the actual board was available for purchase, then I'm sure more people would jump at the opportunity. _________________ This is just like television, only you can see much further. |

I see the Early Adopter scheme as a means to test the water. And as I wrote above, considering all the bad press Tabor has received, selling 100 boards in three weeks is not really disappointing. And apparently there are more people in the wings, waiting for the thing to get finished.

Well done AmigaKit / A-EON!
I wish I had more faith but I need to see a working audio driver in action and a nice case before taking the plunge. The world is a better place for the Tabor existing and the 'shoe box' was a neat take on the pre-order / First Contact idea though the execution wasn't stella. _________________ "Art challenges technology.

Same here, especially the audio driver. And I want to see how the FPU workaround is performing.

| Thanks for the kind words about the interview. It really did stink about the audio issues - but there was zero time to test with with the guys in Ireland. We barely had a chance to finalize everything three days before the interview. They were quite busy! Skype is not an ideal platform it seems for this kind of interview, the delay is just so annoying! I suppose if there is interest I could edit it down to the important talking points and transcribe it as best I can.

"nice case before taking the plunge."
I would like to see a minitower with some A3000 like front. (Narrower and higher than Checkmate A1500+, but little similar outlook.) _________________ - KimmoK // For freedom, for honor, for AMIGA // // Thing that I should find more time for: CC64 - 64bit Community Computer? |
