Using Digi-Key UK as my reference, they list the MPC8308-RDB-ND and MPC8313E-RDBC-ND as being available for less than =A3250 which makes = them sub $300 which is probably the best price I have seen for Power Architecture reference boards. Granted, they are still more expensive than a BBB, RPi or something like that but cheap compared to >$2,000 reference boards we used to have to = buy in the old days! -Andy
