Does look like a new PPC board - AmigaOne Powe..
Let's see if we get a somewhat decent price/performance ratio.

@koaftder
Hey, you're spoiling it! Let everyone look for themselves!

[kolla]

But will it come with real (USB) amiga keyboard?
Please say yes

What is X?

}

alert("For all I know, you're spot on. Unfortunately, being a weak and feeble piece of Javascript, I didn't understand. Sorry.");
}

if (nyd>0 && ald>0)

case "xena.":

So my guess is a PPC mobo for OS4 with a Minimig on a card for classic compatibility.

... called Xena.

[motorollin]

... called Xena.

Looks like it. Just beautified the code in my post above, and entering "xena" as the CPU results in the message "You know way too much...".

Are we heading for a dual core? 8x 25% = 200%... :confused:

[Karlos]

So what is it, a new production run of Amiga One motherboards?

X isn't Xorg, nor x86 and presumably nothing to do with OSX, so I was going to say X is the "unknown quantity", but that would probably need to be lower case serif font and italics

[Karlos]

Well, just spit it out man! :lol:

Aw, come on Red, it's a bit of fun and generated some interest at least. How long has it been since we had some guess the story shenanigans?

[Karlos]

Are those PCI Express slots?

[Pete_Noir]

It's PowerPC, 4 x SATA, two PCIe x16, three PCIe x1, two legacy PCI 33 Mhz, 8 x USB, Gigabit Ethernet, 'at least' 4GB RAM, Xorro, and Xena

[Nickman]

Yeah they are.

It's two PCIe x16, three PCIe x1, two legagacy PCI 33 Mhz, and Xorro.

Quote from Rogue

The Xorro slot is in line with the last PCie x1

[Zac67]

Are those PCI Express slots?

Sho' thing!

Now wait! In the far corner you can just about make out "AmigaOne Power X" - so that's what it'll be called.:idea:

[Karlos]

Blimey, new 'amiga' (yes, I realise that the term is subjective) hardware with a peripheral bus that's using present-decade technology? That is interesting.

My PC has 2 16x slots and uses an intel X48 chipset to provide them.
