Vesalia expects to have V500 in stock soon

  Amigastore.eu  expects to get both V500 2+ and V600 2.1

But you are quite right, even Majsta at ebay is currently "emptyhanded"

This has to be frustrating for those who don't yet have one, but it is good to see that demand is still strong, especially since this project has been alive for a couple of years now.

I pre-ordered with amigastore.eu, it took about two months to get it.
Also just to let you know their estimate on availability might be a bit out, was when I ordered.
Mine came with Gold 2.5 and I had to upgrade to 2.11, though you shouldnt have any issues upgrading as the new cards are preregistered.

hello,

thanks for your answers. I followed more or less the availability in stores, but my question was more for the team to know if they were really producing more units or waiting for v4.

I understand that it is a recurring question, to apologize.

    Seems that CPU slot of 3k/4k is a bit tricky, converter might (or might not) be invented later.
   
    Seems 500 models roll first, Standalone and A1200 then.600 and CD32 might come later and A3000 and A4000 seem to need some sort of CPU slot signal converter, so are most under ? for now.

    Hardware exists, but FPGA core simply isnt yet ready. Takes time to perfect it, produce board and ship it to dealers. My guess would be some time in 2019, summer to winter.

Expected non standalone feats (standalone just add more ports)
