Two New Mainboard with MPC7448 Soon?

[Lando]

Interesting board.  I think the lack of an AGP or PCI-E slot is a strange choice.  Do they even make PCI graphics cards any more?

And only 2 PCI slots. After you plug in your graphics card you've only got one slot left so they'd better hope everything on the motherboard functions as it should.

What form factor is that? I've never seen a case that would fit with that weird arrangement of ports.

What does that comment mean on PPCNUX about

there will be certain entities going out of their way to pull the rug from under Troikas feet

? Anyone know who they're talking about?

Oh I dont think they'll be able to sell them at 500 Euros

Easily. You can put any price on crap hardware what runs OS4 and you know damn well waiting amiga die hards will buy them (even if they dont come with a warranty/guarantee or any other support from the company where purchased from)

Amigans wanted it this way, so sit back and let them enjoy it

What Tigger said was that Troika will not be able to sell this board at 500 Euros - not in a 'people wouldn't pay 500 for it' sense but in a 'if Troika marketed the board at 500 Euros they'd be making a loss' sense.

The board will be way more expensive than 500 Euros.  And I don't think people are so naive anymore, after the AmigaOne fiasco, so I'd be surprised if they sold more than a few dozen of these.

Nobody is condemning anyone.  People just aren't impressed with this board, is all.

only the suckers wants to get a new motherboard capable of running the Amiga OS..

Motherboards and computers capable of running OS4 are available (Pegasos, PPC Mac) and are running OS4 right now (albeit behind closed doors, since it's a violation of the EULA which I do not condone, just as the people running OS X on their A1's or Pegs are violating Apple's EULA).

You mean allowed to run OS4 which is different from capable.  Nobody has said that this board has a license for OS4, or that it will ever have a license, or that Troika has the 20k to pay Hyperion for the port if it does.

I'm sorry if you feel upset, but nobody here is attacking OS4, just the ridiculous situation that is has come to be in.
