Alternatives to Tabor (from New ppc board by Acube/A-Eon: A1222 "Tabor")

Well X5000 is way too funky pricewise for me. So that basically means either a Sam460CR (assuming these are still in production) or wait for a Tabor board hoping that considering the price "it won't be THAT bad".

Alternatively, MorphOS on an x86 board, but thats probably years away.


Why not AROS or MorphOS on some cheap hardware?

1. I don't like AROS
2. Not comfortable buying big old MACs that weigh a ton and have them shipped from halfway Europe (these are impossible to find in my country) and I want something better than a Mac mini...


Powerbook 5.8 or 5.6. Fast (1.67 GHz) , silent, portable and cheap, enough VRAM. Shipping from rest of EU to Malta is no issue (e.g. DHL charges 15.99 EUR for 5kg from Germany to Malta). Disadvantage iof a Powerbook: Replacing the hdd is a bit of work. At least I am very happy with my Powerbook 5.6 (as I am with my Mac mini 1.5GHz).
