Another criticizm I've seen leveled here is, if you don't have enough to spend on a test motherboard you don't have enough money to spend on manufacturing the board itself

That particular purpose could be use for gauging real interest and spreading the risk across the community. Atm, a competitive PPC clone hardware is at its infancy compared to X86 laptop/desktop/server world.

Indeed, look at it this way. He could spend $6000 and then it totally collapse at negotiations etc., or he could spred the risk ($10 or $20) across a few hundred people. Once the initial hurdles are sumounted then it becomes easier for him to justify a large personal financial investment. As he said he'd also donate that board to Hyperion for the porting, so it's kinda a double investment.
$10 isn't a huge risk compared to say $x00 for a G4 PPC accelerator card or $1x0 for a Mac Emulator for Blizzard PPC is it? |
