Hope this pic of one of our Software development and testing systems (taken today) helps?


Why are you apparently testing it on the floor on a nylon carpet?  I recommend some sort of workbench - it will save you some back pain.
A2000, A3000, 2 x A1200T, A1200, A4000Tower & Mediator, CD32, VIC-20, C64, C128, C128D, PET 8032, Minimig & ARM, C-One, FPGA Arcade... and AmigaOne X1000.

@Troika

With that case i wouldn't buy it!
If you wanted to make low cost boards why don't you make a "new" ppc card for existing amiga's surely that would cut the cost down, you have a variety of older ppc expansion cards to steal ideas from.

Come on you guys.. Give them a break. If this actaully does sell with AOS it would be great, no matter what specs th HW might have.

If you've been testing it for two years now why do you only show some DPaint picture ? And what feedback to you want users to give you about a picture ? If you cannot develop your own board there's no problem about that. After all it seems it isn't that easy to do so. But just admit it and stop trying to fool people...
Is it that hard to be honnest in this community ?

Surely, you still don't believe this guy?   It all adds up to a giant farce.

No not really, but I still "hope" that Troika does whip up some sort of surprise

Hey Troika, how do you explain this (post by Rob on AWN)?

In particular this bit:
"The MC8439E only has 2 PCI interfaces, as stated above one is used for the SATA controller and the other for the PCI slot. Unless Troika add a PCI bridge there'll be no possibility for adding audio to this board, unless you don't mind going without a video card."

Heh, nice catch, though I think this community's experience has demonstrated that, in PPC-land, even manufacturer reference designs can still end up needing significant rework [or after-the-fact support]...

FWIW, looks like the Freescale board runs $368.52 at the one source obviously stocking it.

Does OS4 hardware still need to be Dongle Approved, or has that pretty much been blown out of the water now?

I did read on. Same old same old - still no photos of the modified board.

Just because the BS is coming straight from the horse's mouth doesn't make it any less BS.

I think it also shows just how unrealistic it is to expect anything worth while will be created by Troika.  Management capable of making things happen, and happen on time is clearly missing as is the in house skills, funding, and experience.  It may have been a noble effort, but clearly doomed to fail from the start.

@jorkany

You miss my point.

If you want to cast doubt on this, you would have been better challenging the answer, rather than the what you showed.
