$1895 (US) which includes:
- 50mhz 68060 (PPC addon card available 2-3 months after initial Boxer
systems ship)
- 10GB HD
- 32Mb RAM
- 40X CD-ROM
- "internet ready"
- case available in 4 translucnt colors (blue, green, orange, purple)
- 100% Amiga compatible

I dunno, but I assume so. It would be incredibly stupid if it weren't
compatible. It is supposed to be a 100% Amiga comapatible motherboard, and
it has a lot of enhancements to the motherboard design.

Yup. Atni-Gravity got tired of waiting and waiting so they bought the BoXeR
from Access Innovations and hired Mick Tinker to finish it. I think the
motherboard is basically finished now. The software (maybe firmware?)for the
system needs finished now. I dunno if the website has all the specs for the
motherboard or not. If not, I can type it up later.
