And even if they ship, how is it going to run the OS? Which version of the OS?  I thought Coldfire was missing quite a few necessary 680x0 hardware registers.  A co-processor perhaps??

Agreed. Noone faults them for trying, but no updated pictures ever since the original carefully cropped ones appeared six months ago (or more).  I sure hope this isn't vapor though it seems more so than the SharkPPC, which at least has precedent in the Mac world.  Maybe it's just a ploy to sell their new 'Dragon-ready' D-Box tower.  Who knows?  On the software side, the USB Poseidon/Spider fiasco makes one wonder how they could be competent enought to code the OS to properly work on Coldfire; assuming they have a license to the source code.

Mythical hardware somehow reminds me of a Morrissey ditty from an old Smiths' song:

"I want the one I can't have and it's driving me mad..it's written all over my face."
