Will this thing run OS4 MorphOS without too much tinkering , im guessing not due to the lack of northbridge/southbridge.

I wonder if these are one of the companies A inc were in talks with regarding hardware.  Would be nice to haev hardware, but not exactly speed demon.

Unless they are going to ship OS4 with this for the imbeded market

looks more advanced than Efika, but what about price? and what is the point if it does not run MOS or AOS4 ?

Including OS4 (still unknown, no license yet), it is roughly 3x the price of Efika.

Looks much more professional

If you call publishing memory tests done on other machine on product page professional... Well. For me it just means Samantha is not functional as they can't even run as simple application as memory test on it.

The price for such a sistem without OS4 is max Euro 350, at the actual estimated production volume, Euro/USD exchange rate, and DDR ram price.

I think the price including OS4 and VAT is much more meaningful:

"Target price for the 667 Mhz, 256Mb ram including OS4 is Euro 450 + local taxes."

Link

So in the end it will be around EUR 500 for the whole system. Add to that case, PSU, drives, etc., in order to have a complete working system.

@TheMagicM

In my previous post here I quoted the cost of the mobo from the developer.
I see no mention of 600 in that post.
