Looks much more professional than anything we have see from Troika so far.  :lol:

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

or to put another way -

could be, who knows. looks good - Good luck to em, when can I buy one ;-)
not so bothered about speed demon - as long as it runs OS4/linux reasonably well thats ok!

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

[humppa]

looks more advanced than Efika, but what about price?

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

[keropi]

a ~500eur board?
lol, no thank you.

Someone needs to get a license for the Magicbox.

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.

@keropi

From one of the Samantha Team members posting on AW:
m3x:

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.

350eur eh? not that bad...

[humppa]

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."

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.

Almost $600 for a motherboard?  you've got to be f'in kidding me.

@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.
