Ditto.....

That sounds to me like a production run, not some marketing waffle from a fake CUSA photo mockup

Even though I'm a MorphOS user, I've always cautioned posters on this forum to take Varisys seriously.
I've been in contact with them for a few years (previous to their connection with A-eon) and their staff is knowledgeable, professional, and experienced in the design and production of PPC based boards (and they work with other processors as well).
When I was examnining the idea of producing an MPC8640/8641 based motherboard their staff was very helpful in offering advice and the option to assist (as they'd already designed systems based on that Freescale processor).
They recommended the Freescale  QorIQ processor as an alternate to the e600 CPUs I was examining (and did not recommend the PA6T because of difficulty in obtaining them).
When I saw the first photos of Nemo and noticed that it used the same Southbridge I was considering (the AMD SB600) I immediately suspected Varisys' involvement with A-eon's project.
Currently I'm examining the latest 64bit  QorIQ processors the P5010 and P5020. These or their sucessors are likely candidates to replace the PA6T in future A-eon projects.

It's nice to see the company back on track and ready to deliver a higher performing motherboard to the AOS market than has previously been available.

What would be nice is A-Eon paying for official ports of both MorphOS and AROS to this board.

"One board to unite them all!" ;)

I can't picture Trevor being willing to pay for a MorphOS port Nicholas.
But I've exchanged messages with him and he has owned and used a  MorphOS system.
I like the Nemo board. I think its a well thought out and designed motherboard with some great features.
I won't likely buy one as I'm using MorphOS (which I consider to be a superior OS), but I wholeheartedly support A-eon's effort and hope for their continued success.
