That's fine, but as you know, here in "RIP-OFF BRITAIN" that price will change to £500 wont it, despite the "dollar is worth bugger all" exchange rate?
I hope I'm proved wrong!

I just thought it might be a better idea to call it something else to:
a). Avoid confusion and
b). Avoid any legal issues

| I was wondering, if it's designed to mainly run AmigaOs4, why isn't the board called (or contain the word) Amiga?

| Well, I have looked up what Prometheus meant on the net, and from what I can see, the name could be interpreted to mean many things...

Of course there is discrimination going on. Amiga Inc. has every right to choose who they trust and do business with just like any individual can. But whether we agree with their decision regarding the well publicized offering from Acill or not is irrelevent to Troika's efforts. This is Troika's time to be in the lime light. Best of luck to Troika and we look forward to seeing OS4 running on their new board ASAP.

Wouldn't it be rather odd to invest a large sum of money into the development of a new motherboard without even knowing whether it will be allowed to run the OS in your target market? Seems like a substantial amount of risk to take. I would guess something has been worked out already.
Then again, perhaps there are more markets Troika isn't talking about just yet? Hopefully our spies at BB3 will be able to come up with some answers.

To be fair it would be rather odd to invest a large sum of money into the Amiga market period. All due respect to Troika of course and I sincerely hope that they can provide a viable solution.
The fact that they are going to be at BB3 is a very positive sign and shows that they are indeed interested in making a true new Amiga. A tie up with Project Reality would be nice too - but perhaps they have their own cases?
No offence - but they could do with a new logo too - looks very dated. Constructive criticism.

 Just a Thought!
Is it not possible that they could sell the boards to Eyetech and not have to worry about a Licence, seeing as Eyetech already have said Licence?

Great to hear that the first prototype(s) are being shown to the grand public.
As I can't visit UK for now (my 2 months vacancy are over now ), when will we see these boards in other regions of Europe (for me neighbourhood of Luxembourg like Bruxelles, Metz, Cologne etc.) would be great!
Or even better when can I buy such a board?

Anything's possible, it will be interesting to hear the show announcements.

Get a good web browser done and you won't have to worry about money.

I'll bet Mikey C has been testing this motherboard.
He knows too much
