@Raffaele: do you see any SATA, USB, and PCI-Express connection? I don't. So, how do you pretend that it can be used for acting as a computer?

@gregthecanuck: I've already read it.

I repeat again: do you see any of USB, SATA, PCI-Express connectors? How do you attach your peripherals to such board?

@cdimauro

You obviously are talking about something that you do not understand. Is a carrier board; all these expansions are added with backplate I/O interface cards. this has VITA, PCM and XMC expansion conectors for these expansions cards. But one thing is clear, is not suitable for desktop usage; not at least in a elegant way

it is a cpu module for a Freescale server
the 2 black (with orange plugs) are for connect the module on the motherboard
the architecture of this modules are really similar to the G5 Xserve Apple machine or G5 Quad Desktops
(Cdimauro dont recognize them because never see a powerpc machine in real life)
Amen .

Ah, your original message said "connection". So that is how I responded.

Is this board practical for OS4? I guess it depends on how easy it is to break out the VMX connectors onto a host board. You could treat it like an A4K/A3K CPU slot model... probably going to be pricey though...

Really? I never imagined it. Now I saw the light...

That's what I've asked:

"how do you pretend that it can be used for acting as a computer"

but I understand that reading simple sentences is an hard work for some people...

So, can you show me how do you build a computer with such card? See above.

And here is the fanboy which has to fight the heretical to defend his faith. As usual...

Oops. Here's another one.

Yes, but I saw that connection is too generic and create ambiguities. So I've written connectors then.

But the purpose was clear from the beginning: how to use such board to create a computer where people can connect peripherals (video card, hard drive, keyboard, mouse, etc.).

Let's wait for Raffaele to bring some prices for the board and the additional cards.

Seeing as belittleing peoples reading comprehension seems to be on topic lets try yours....

Where anywhere in this thread but particularly in the OP has anyone claimed this can be used as a computer, let alone an AmigaOS4 one? The phrase "(Useless ?)" was even added to the tiitle, and before you graced the thread with your wisdom.

You claim one or two are fanboys in the thread yet your viscious antiPPC attitude is so strong you are the exact same thing, but in a negativeway, give it a rest, it's boring and tedious.

So, what do you think that it's the reason for posting this new, if not for any hope to have some cheap computer built with it, for running OS4 (or MorphOS)?

Haven't you ever seen such kind of threads in this forum? They are pretty frequent.

AntiPPC? You should know that we are talking about hardware. It doesn't make sense to be "against" some piece of silicon. It's something which I consider childish: people should have been grown enough to understand that the "gool old" days of the Amiga vs Rest-of-the-worlds are already ended.

Regarding processors, I just gave my honest opinion, like any other people in this forum. Is it legitimate, or it's something which can be done only by PowerPC fanatics?

And, BTW, if you think that I'm wrong you're always free to correct me, right?

I fear many members of this forum see you as embodiment of above sentences.

@pavlor: who cares. Facts count: not just words.

I like PPC, I have... 5 PPC systems, I think. I have OS4.0 for CSPPC. If I was to run OS4, I would very much prefer to do it under some sort of virtualization, for a whole range of reasons. Does T2080 support virtualization KVM style? Why OS4 and MorphOS devs are so opposed to running their OS under virtualization, devs of other OSes see it as a big advantage to be able to develop and test software on regular cheap portable hardware.

@kolla: also emulation can have its advantages.

@kolla

T2080 has hypervisor support, which means you can run a virtualization system behind the OSes. Even the P3041 could have done this, if it had been brought out in an X3500. P5020 obviously support it as well.

Where did you read that OS4 devs are opposed to it? It's the perfect use of the extra cores of the P50x0 until OS4 (if ever) uses them.
