That is correct, the Phase5/DCE-PPC cards will not work as there is no
A3000/A4000 accellerator slot. There is planned a Zorro expansion daughter
card but don't know when or if it will make it to production. As for
Graphics cards, with the appropriate drivers the BoXeR will be able to use
any PCI (and perhaps with the latest spec BoXeR, AGP) graphics cards. I
wouldn't mind moving my Diamond Viper 770 32mb card to an Amiga box.

Supply & Demand as always determine pricing in conjunction with return on
investment and higher parts pricing for low volume production.
