That's too bad. I know it's kind of a spendy little board, but it seems like it has some good features too. Plus it has more RAM (than an Efika).

Does the answer of why MOS can't be put on it have only to do with the different firmware, or is this some deeper issue?

Please don't let this become another case of Amiga-ish users suffering a lack of choice in an already limited market, because of some political crap that one cares about anyway. I'm not buying the piracy argument, either.

It seems like right now you can either get a hundred dollar Efika, or if you want more power, (Maybe!) a used Pegasos, or else...? The SAM could fulfill a valuable market segment-I need more than an Effie but don't quite need a Pegasos II. It could be sold with a machine-tied copy of MorphOS the same as it is now bundled with Amiga OS 4.1.
