Two New Mainboard with MPC7448 Soon?

[humppa]

What a weird board layout and form factor.

Now I can perfectly understand why Troika only showed us a small part of the board in their announcement!

:lol:

Its silly that after a year of no hardware availability and a shrinking installed base for the OS, they still have no real plans, and are hoping to use an expensive motherboard to move the OS forward.

I'm not even sure if they are really hoping for this, or what has even been done so far.

They might have been looking for a mainboard picture with a TSI109 that is not easily retrievable just by browsing Google Images. They found the Chinese company and asked for specs/image of that board. Maybe they even loosely asked if they could license the design for production.
Enough to make a news release that perfectly compensates for the apparent failure of their own (Amy'05) design and that is well placed exactly one day after ACK announced their PV TL board.

To me it just seems that it`s a board by somebody else and their gonna put their sticker on it.

Like Eyetech putting an AmigaOne sticker on a crappy Teron-board.

? Anyone know who they're talking about?

Nobody. There are not many other bedroom projects that are as insane to license/produce a "high-end" board for this tiny market without making any money.

And even if there was one to pull the rug from under Troikas feet, I wouldn't mind. Enough with their carrot-dangling and fluffy news releases.

Yes. In the real world Troika has to compete but in the Amiga world they can charge what the hell they want (to a limit).

Price is not relevant:

I guess if it works, and is cheap enough, people will find a way to get it into a box.

One thing is for sure: It won't be cheap.
