DaveP: Making unjustified rumours ain't polite.. Especially as they
are (apparently once again) coming from 'well trusted sources' of
belgian origin :-)
You don't etiher know (or care) that Marvell Discovery is *THE*
chipset used on Motorolas own Dual G4 evaluation boards? Do you really
belive they'd used those cause they 'just happen to work'?
In the end, I think you never had even readed (not even assuming
understanding) full techical docs for Marvell Discovery series nor Mai
Articia-S. Besides.. There are multitude of Discovery geenrations, I
hope you'll been followed them all before commenting what they can and
can't do :-)
Concerning G5 .. For Amiga-market only there is no point on making
such board. There are no user base nor software to make it worth
effort (not to mention even gettign even economically). Only way to
make it happen is to make system that has makes strong sales on other
markets. Linux, BSD, QNX etc.. With those, there is hope on getting
even, not on Amigas..
But before G5 can happen, there is need to available Bridge chip
(Apple uses their own, not for sale), now first such chip has been
announced by Marvell and it's bound to become reality in next half a
years time. We'll see then what happens... If there is any company
willing to take a risk (and find funding) to make such computer.
