    > somewhere between 120 and 500?

    According to Trevor Dickinson on AmiWest 2012, a production run is between 100 and 300 boards. Including the betatester batch, there have been at least 4 production runs so far, which means at least between 400 and 1200 boards produced. X1000/Nemo is currently in stock at AmigaKit, so not all boards from the last run have been sold apparently.

    I've heard about 3 runs and I also heard that there was about a little more than 50 boards each times, depending on the number of orders. Most on the first run and fewer on the last, which is why AmigaKit is selling the left overs. But I can of course be wrong there.

    Still, 1200 boards is not much either but right should be right.

    I read that Apple sold some 3 million PPC macs in 2003 and 4.5 million in 2005. Even considering that not all of these are supported or working anymore, there is still a lot of machines to use out there as they are or as spare parts.

    3 runs for First Contact edition, plus 1 initial run for betatesters.

    I don't know what your source is for this but I tend to believe Trevor Dickinson in this case.

    I do too. That guy seems honest.
