X1000 Boards in Production #Pictures#

Doubt it... but at least it's something that will fit in with the REAL AMIGA Community...

Who are you?
There's no way Franko would think a PPC motherboard would "fit in with the REAL AMIGA Community".

It's good to hear that the beta test boards are rolling out.

Trevor Dickinson Interview

#6

" Personally, I would like see a range of machines, built around the new  multi-core PowerPC CPU’s that are being developed by Freescale and  others, which could run AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS (plus Linux) and  finally bring some unity and harmony to all flavours of the community."

As long as Ben Hermans is one of his partners, that ain't happening.

I kind of feel bad, because Trevor seems like a genuinely nice guy

That's the part that baffles me. I've traded messages with Trevor and he is a genuinely nice guy. And he holds out hope about supporting multiple OS'. Plus he's run each of the OS' he mentioned.
Somehow he must have missed some of his partners public statements (that still haunt the internet).
Hermans on more than one occasion has questioned the legality of both MorphOS and AROS.

[Iggy]

Whatever happens with this machine, Trevor has my utmost respect. He's a proper enthusiast, just like us....but richer. Which is why I won't be getting one, I just can't justify the expense.

Personally, I'll wait for the successor. An e5500 cored board would be cool.
