Awesome! This update is very interesting, keep up your good work.

Is the cpu still soldered?

I googled and found this:

"The PowerPC 750GL die, functionality, timing, AC and DC electrical specifications, mechanical specifications, and errata are identical to those of the PowerPC 750GX dd1.2. The only differences from the PowerPC 750GX are in part number, application conditions, speed grade, power dissipation, and consumer grade reliability. The PowerPC 750GL is available only in a RoHS-compatible, reduced lead package."

The 750GX is used in the MicroA1.

Looks like this will be the perfect MicroA1 replacement. Upgradable gfx, no more crippled ArticiaS performance, able to run Linux properly, not picky with RAM modules, better built in sound, faster ethernet, and on top of all that it will be alot cheaper. Sounds like a great entry level machine for OS4.

no issues using the ATI Radeon 9700 series

Is there a PCI version of this card? I googled a bit, but no luck.

Good!

Keep on with your works.

Thank you.

Checked on Wikipedia, so this is what Apple would call a G3? No altivec.

(NB, not complaining, just curious)

from Wiki:

PowerPC 750GX
750GX (codenamed Gobi), revealed in 2004 is the latest and most powerful G3 processor from IBM. It has a on-die L2 cache of 1 MB, top frequency of 1.1 GHz, support bus speeds up to 200 MHz among other enhancements compared to 750FX. It is manufactured using a 0.13 ?m copper based fabrication with Low-K dielectric and Silicon on insulator technology. 750GX has 44 million transistors, a die size of 52 mm² and consums less than 9 W at 1 GHz at typical loads.
A low powered version of 750GX is available called 750GL.

and this:

G3 series
750CX/CXe with 256 kB on die L2 cache at 350-600 MHz
750FX with 512 kB L2 cache announced by IBM in 2001 and available early 2002 at 1 GHz
750GX with 1 MB L2 cache introduced by IBM in 2003

I think he mean there is a AGP Slot on the PCI bus.

Jepp, this is a G3 on steroids (1 MB cache). Wonder what happened
to the UDTech board carrying a 7448. Kind of dissapointing to "downgrade"
to a simple G3.

Yes, yes, I know. The UDTech board was never officially acknowledged
by Troika - however the pictures were identical to it.

Guess they dumped UDTech and went on with another supplier (v 1.4)
- or designed it themselves. Let's hope this is released.

In this thread I just posted that I might have been interested in purchasing
it for Linux, but that was based on the 7448. My Pegasos II G4 is alot better
for Linux which is what interests me - Linux on Power. So, this gives you all
one less competitor in your favourite Amiga store. :P

Anyway, if this materialize it's good for AmigaOS 4.0.

with hard to find and expensive SDRAM and PCI GFX cards...
why the hell isn't it possible to have a proper AGP slot ? and DDR ? what's the point in designing such a board in 2K6 ?

Unless the software takes advantage of Altivec (assuming the hooks are there in OS 4), there is no real benefit of a G4 over a G3. The Pismo G3 Powerbook I have (500Mhz) eats up the equivalent G4 Powerbook quite easily. Don't be put off by the G3 - they run cool and quiet.

Don't forget the orignal Amigas palmed off a lot work to the coprocessors. No different these days, except we have graphics and sound cards instead to do the job that the co-pros used to do.

IIRC this card (highly supposed from UDTech was presented as a high end model from Troika, nerver as the Amy05 replacent...

Maybe because no bridge (at least publically available, don't count Apple proprietary ones) has been designed for PowerPC chips that handle those features...

The UDTech is another project of Troika aimed at high-end.Amy´05 is and always has been a low-end project, the goal of troika is make the most cheap motherboard possible

I don't think it's about sensorship. It's just about usefulness and interestingness. And your posts don't contain any of those, so he was merely giving you an advice.
