Umm... there's nothing on www.amiga.com that indicates that they're putting 'em out for developers, where'd ya read that?

Under www.heise.de/ct
It was in the latest CeBIT news.

But I have to excuse myself for the wrong URL!
The board can be directly found and ordered on the homepage of the developer: http://www.eyetech.co.uk/

Sorry bout that!

Everything about AmigaOS4 can be found at Hyperion

This thing sucks. It's only a "sample" board, this is NOT ready for mass production (this is why it's only available in very small amounts for those three or four developpers left, I guess... )
It's to use the bug-plagued VIA686B chip, and, worst of all, the CPU is SOLDERED to the board, they currently have no real plans to make a socketed version (cost issues). So you have absolutely no real upgrading path, which was in the past one of the biggest advantages of the Amiga IMHO.
Last not least, most of Haage&Partner (or Hyperion as well) software sucked majorly when I tried it.

I'm still hoping for PegasOS / MorphOS.
