Update – October 10th – amiga-news.de reports: “Acube Systems has just informed us that the information that the board is listed as “In stock” in the store is misleading. Currently, the boards are still in production, the published image is from pre-production. They had to be built to make sure they work as intended. According to the current status, the boards will be finished at the beginning of November..” (source: amiga-news.de)
