The stretch-goal would be awesome! Since I've backed the double black/white package, I've spread the word within my retro-community here in Germany. :mrgreen:

The progress looks very good, although I can see it slowing down.

Ok, this morning the project is at $63k out of the $86k goal. In 24 hours this went up by either 2k or 3k, don't remember yesterday's number for certain.

I think at this rate the goal is within reach, unless pledges really wind down as days go by. But it's hard to see how they're going to reach $129k in order to provide that DB9 dongle.

And without such a dongle it really isn't compatible with actual Amigas.

Kicktraq is a good way to have some information about pledges history and "projection" ;)

Ah, interesting. Strange that they project a result almost four times the current pledges, though. That means pledges have to pick up as time goes on, while I would expect them to go down.

I thought for the benefit of the readers here I'd switch my view to dollars, but then I did the same later on my iPad and now the goal was 85k rather than 86k, while on the computer it's still 86 in a window that I kept open...

So we're now at either $65650 out of $86000, $65000 out of $85250 or €59500 out of €78000... In any event, 76.2%. Yesterday we were at 73.2%, so at this rate we'll need a little over a week to reach the goal, and more than a month to reach the 150% stretch goal for the DB9-USB dongles... (But with only three weeks to go.)

There's still a large group of people who subscribed to be informed about the Kickstarter campaign before it ends. So it can have a jump at the end. We'll see :)

(When I said pledges go up or down, I meant the new amounts pledged every day.)

24 hours later 64500 out of 78000 euros, so a jump from 76.2% to 82.6%. Apparently people like to pledge during the weekend. 8-)

Looks like it made the stretch goal! I’m excited, can’t wait to use this with my 1000!
