      This looks like the phantom I've been hunting all evening. Hurry up, Alix!  ;D

        This is fantastic news, i've been looking for reasonably priced modern alternatives to the alix for a while now. It's been looking like a mini itx atom build is the best bet. Can't wait for this to be released, and hopefully in the sub $200 range.

              Realtek may kill the deal for me.

                In March 2013 I had some feedback from Netgate - they thought the end of Q2 or during Q3 (but no promises of course). I guess those "Q" references are to calendar year 2013, thus sometime from late June 2013 to September 2013. I haven't asked for an update - probably no point doing that until late June.

                  Would it really kill them to use an intel nic like an i350-am4? (quad port)

                    It would probably double the price, maybe more!  ;)

                      They could always go low end and run i210's.

                        Q2 2013 is finished, so I asked for an update:

                        Board is still in debug, and the cooling solution also needs more work. Please be patient.
                        Best regards,
                        Pascal Dornier

                        So there is no timeframe for production yet. But good to know Pascal of PC Engines doesn't release dodgy hardware. When it is ready it should work reliably.

                              I wouldn't make any plans on this prior to CY2014.

                              Pascal could surprise us all, but the reality is that it's July, and the board is still in bring-up.

                                  Looks interesting.
                                  USB connected SD for boot media is a little disappointing but perhaps not a problem. I await some throughput figures.  :)

                                            I really don't think that hundreds of emails asking for samples is going to help get this out any quicker.  ;)
