A very nice motherboard, its success is tyed to AmigaOS 4.x to being mature enough, and that developers embrace that microcontroller thing in ingenious ways.
Anyway i still miss the custom DMA Amiga chipset behaviour, where the cpu could remain with nearly zero load whilst many tasks were being carried out by this custom DMA chipset.
Most importantly, if price is proportionally as steep as it was with the SAM, we arent going to see many of them in the wild.
So for me, it means that there are lots of "ifs" that will make X1000 either a success, or an entire flop, only time will tell.

Why would you miss something that's common all around you now? Modern machines employ this behaviour too. IDE has used DMA for disk transfers for ages now. Sound cards, graphics cards, NICs etc all use DMA too.
