So...
...I did a search on the page for the word Amiga, as is OS 4...

...came up with nothing.

 How is this relevant to Amiga? Oh there are boing balls on the page...???

 And what does "reserved for industrial customers" mean? Is that to say that it is not available to the average joe Amiga fanatic (assuming it actually will run Amiga)?

Oh that would be interesting!

Speaking of AAA, wasn't the dude who cloned the Amiga chip sets going to have a crack at duplicating the AAA chip set down the road.

 Off topic, but ya, you brought it to mind. :)

That would be one rude joke if it is!

Now i have only 3 question:

-What will be the price?
-When will it be shipped with OS4?
-Can this be used for business solutions?

I doubt it's a joke. If in these days, some Amiga company would joke on the Amiga, it would loose automatically all the possible future clients :)

Another question : what about power consumption ?
I didn't found nothing about it on the site...

Taken on face value alone, that this is not an April fools joke.. Congrats for finishing the board.

Curiously abscent is what OSes are being ported. Obviously, Hyperion OS4 is *not* one of them.

Be pretty funny if AROS was ported to it before OS4 (officially sanctioned).

And what's that HUGE ATI chip on the board exactly?

 Ya, my bets are that we'll see MorphOS and AROS on it before OS4.

 On the other hand I've never had a chance to touch OS4 and I don't think anyone in Tucson even owns an Amiga, let alone a MorphOS compatable machine, so who knows...

...maybe MorphOS is good enough that I don't need OS4. Maybe I'll find out if I get a Efika and MorphOS comes out with there update as promised.
