Sounds like they've put an Amiga 500 motherboard, extra RAM, a Mac drive,
and the Toaster (along with a bit of software glue) in a box and called it
a new product.

That would fit the $4000 price ($1500 toaster, $500 Amiga, $2000 in circuit
boards, software, and packaging). Note that it doesn't attach to the Mac as
a peripheral, as far as I can see.
