	About 200 units of the SYMBiFACE II have been built and shipped between 2006 and 2012. Today it is only available in the second-hand market. The RAM/ROM and the IDE feature of the SYMBiFACE II can be replaced by the [[X-MEM]] and the [[X-Mass]] hardware created by [[TotO]], which is still available today (2016).
