component placement and routing are definitely from wrong era..

As is that board is missing hundred (or so) passive components thus making it totally nonworkable and almost impossible to use on any evaluation.

More time passes, more amateurish that project looks.. Their dpaint-mockup was downright ugly (and component placement bad) but this ain't a step forward as they now have more problems than year(s) ago.

@Mr Anonymous (Troika)

Troika, you are much wiser than to think I'd use Moo bunny as source.

I am not using Moobunny as source, but Joanna Kurki, who has actually worked on PPC systems for years and knows the HW design stuff (unlike me). If she says it's FUBAR, then it is.

I don't wish to be rude, but if you don't like the design of the motherboard, you can vote with your $$ and not buy it.

Don't worry, I won't be giving any $$ to you guys.

Regardless I reserve the right to comment and criticise.

Otherwise when we demo Amy'05 working we hope you will have an open mind at that point.

Just make sure you let us know when you have demoed it.

@Etho

Whats your problem?

I don't suffer fools lightly?

Well, Troika has been working on this thing for years now. If they can't even produce a working early protos then something is seriously wrong, and they should reconsider the whole motherboard business.

At least Troika should stop this bs marketing and outright lying ("HW is in production" etc). Just show the darned thing running some OS and everyone is happy for couple of years again.

And what's up with this anonymity thing? Surely if you want to be taken seriously you should use your own names.

@Etho

Why keep grilling and hard-boiling them ?

Because they've not lived up to their word.

They'll get there when there ready!

Good. Now, if they would only wait themselves until they're there. But I don't see that coming. We'll see tons of more press releases about press releases, missed presentation deadlines and stuff.

But, I guess it's kind of pointless to expect professionalistm these days.

@Etho

Who's been lied to?

Anyone waiting the board?

when was a final Trokia release given?

Total Amiga Magazine, must've been somewhere in 2005. It said they

have two production runs scheduled for 2005

. Quite bold statement considering they haven't managed to get the design finished, even.

Your welcome to port Mos to Amy if you wish.

MorphOS doesn't run on imaginary hardware.
