X1000 xmos

What about Gary? And "Buster" is kind of a masculine name for a female...

Both "Xena" and "Buster" sound like names for the punk chick on early-'90s teen shows who looks like the writers were trying to create a butch lesbian but couldn't quite commit to the concept, so they just gave her a mohawk and called it a day...

John, I've been meaning to ask - what is your avatar? I've been trying to figure out what it means for over a year. What are the gestures he keeps on doing? Did you make it yourself?  :confused:

I always thought it was a woman in a dressing-gown having a meltdown.

:lol: It's an animation test from one of my perpetually-in-development game projects - one of the protagonists is a temporally-dislocated druidess. I just needed an avatar, and I'd recently put this together, so I figured why not

I doubt adding the xmos chip to the board raise the cost that much, the reason it cost this much is largely the small production run and I guess the CPU and OS4 development costs.

Probably. I do wonder, though, how much could've been saved by not bothering. On the other hand, by $2000 you've probably reached a pricing saturation point... :/
