For about one hour is it possible to purchase ASIC miners to mine Ethash coins as ETH.
905 USD include PSU to mine with 180 MH/s and 800 W power usage, delivery in July 2018.
As soon as the first badge is in the market we will see that Equihash difficulty will increase
because many GPU miners of ETH will move to Ethash coins.

It's only a matter of willingness to change algo. A lot of time to change it so, that these ETH asics would be useless.
Just like with cryptonight.
