    ...which it is due to the hardware.

    It's already "the fastest way of running OS4" right now, without the second core in use.

    > the OS isn't even supporting the on-board controllers yet

    It isn't supporting *all* the on-board controllers yet, namely two (audio and Ethernet). The rest is supported as far as I'm aware.

    What has Jens Schönfeld to do with anything I wrote?

    > You can't buy it from [...] AmigaKit, not even from www.a-eon.com.

    You were able to buy it from AmigaKit, which has been appointed A-Eon's "Primary Channel Distributor" for the AmigaOne X1000.

    And yet you can't order a Raspberry Pi this instant and have it shipped to you today :-)

    AFAIK, the purchasers' correspondence has been with AmigaKit, not with A-Eon.

    > production counted in tens of units

    Do you claim that one production batch size of Nemo boards is smaller than 100 units?

    All pre-April2 Pegasos boards are prone to data corruption. I've yet to hear that about the AmigaOne X1000 and its Nemo v2.1 board.

    There are still people on forums claiming they want to get one with the next batch. Do you think they're lying?

    I'm still not convinced, and I still think it has been proven differently.

    > I have understood as much as you don't share my views of "vapor".

    That's correct.

    > I don't share your views of "product".

    I have a feeling this might be exclusive to things connected with OS4 :-P

    Regarding what exactly?
