Though I cannot speak for Hyperion, it seems from my conversations with one of the devel0opers (One of the Freiden brothers, I foerget which) that they are certailly interested in a port but can't afford a $6000 board, especially if it isn't certainly going to be a part of the Amiga market. Last time I spoke I was told that they couldn't license to anyone other than Eyetech at the moment but were talking to KMOS about it. Please don';t quote me on this though, I may have got the wrong end of the stick (I will check exactly what was said when Iget home and ask for an update+clarification)

I'll donate some money sooner or later once some people who owe me cough up.

I have been following this thread with interest. I'll love to see a dual G5 system. Ideally we would have a low end G5 micro A1, and dual G5 for high end. If you can pull this off, personally I still couldn't afford it or justify it though. If I could afford a dual G5 system it would have to be a Mac partly because the OS and software would make better use of the SMP and 64-bit extensions, not to mention the software base. I am still interested in the micro A1 though. It would be great if we had a G5 one with something with more grunt than a ATI 7000 but we are at least 18 months away from that if at all. We haven't got the release of the G3 / G4 ones yet.

There is not a second to loose. I don't know how long all this is going to take but it will probably take at least a year for it to get to market. In 6 months time the only PPC's in the high street will be iMac G5's.

Also, I don't know what the situation is when Linux is concerned but a decent version is a must to increase the amount of sales. (Probably mentioned already)

Finally dump AGP if you can. Lets start with something fresh for a change. If this thing comes to market you will have as much trouble finding a AGP card as you do finding a PCI card now. You need to think a year ahead plus a bit more as board needs to last four years.
