I bet we find it costs $4000-$7000 USD :) If it ever materialises.

Well, we have no idea how much it will cost when we finally release it, but we have no intention at this point to ask 4K for it unless we really end up getting raped on certain components. There will be certain things that will definitely impact final cost, how much the cpus end up costing (pricing has really been fluctuating) and if and what type of ram we supply... TTRam will probably be optional, main STRam will probably come with it.. other things like floppy and type of keyboard interface will affect total price..

I posted a few videos about 2 months ago.. This is a basic boot and before we were able to verify a few subsystems completely. We are now starting to verify some of the upgrades and I've been working on a new diagnostic cart as well to handle the new features.. its a slow process.. We haven't decided IF we will sell any of the first run prototypes as there was one schematic error that requires a small adapter board that costs at least $100 per board. We will be creating new videos when we can get some time.. We finally verified a system with IDE plus SCSI with multiple drives attached. Only thing that hasn't been verified is HD joysticks as we haven't made the appropriate test cables yet as we can't find the ones we had..

Here is 1 video.. If you want more info you can get me on Atari Systems Central discord server or check out Wizztronics FB page for additional info

please excuse the poor quality..

Great work to have it so far.

We're spoiled. Two Falcon offerings within a few months of each other! :lol:
