Greetings Herewegoagain,
Works great if you are a midget with tiny hands to work in that tight cramped up case with hardly any way to get air flow through it.
You are assuming that there will be a lot of HEAT coming off this motherboard, similar to what one would expect from a PC with AMD processor. However, G3 CPUs run a lot cooler, you don't need a giant heat sink and possibly could get away without a fan in some cases. ;-)
The PC I'm using has a Celeron 400(Mhz), which has a tiny heatsink & fan.. it almost doesn't need the fan if I had a bigger heatsink (maybe with a peltier junction cooler).
Nice one....nobody can build a quality product but DCE. Thanks for the laugh.
*shrugs* DCE are local to bplan (germany area) subcontractor. Of course, I'd like to see the Pegasos design licensed to other subcontractors around the world. But for now, it makes sense to go with the local subcontractor while bulding the market.
MAI rushed out the Articia Northbridge without properly testing it. Same with the Teron motherboard.. it too was rushed out. And mass produced using cheaper components. Example: The southbridge is older.. therefore it is also cheaper.
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz.. Wrong! You are not keeping up with the news Downix. No AMR slot on the PX boards. (which btw are not only for modems)
There is an AMR slot in MAI docs:

Oh yeah, last time I needed firewire was .... hmmmm.............. never! Don't need it, as most people will not. If they do, just pop in a PCI card. They are not that expensive for heavens sake.
I have lots of uses for firewire. In one of my projects, the built-in firewire is going to be very useful.
Firewire is great for FAST external hard drives (good to have an external drive for backups). And there's some interesting things happening with firewire and linux (do a search for 'linux firewire').
