Proof, please.

Edit:
Wow, that was interesting. Looked up "orion powerpc" on Google and got a sponsored link here: www.kelkoo.no/erotica

Uhm, what? :-)

They have a website, just no mention of any AmigaOne products ;-)

On the other hand, Embedded version of OS4 would be nice on their existing products...

I say it's just a hoax like always. But at least the company in question IS a large powerpc board manufacturer :-)

@NitrousB:
No

No new Amiga would come out with Custom chips or a new Zorro standard. There just isn't any incentive for that after 10 years of not using it...

Some day Shawn is going to realize that Z3 uses a multiplexed addressing (it's a 24 + 16 bit bus used to transfer 32 + 32 bit address/data information), and that this means PCI (with 32 bit multiplexed between address and data) is actually not less efficient.

Hopefully he'll fit his whole head in front of the shotgun.
