"8640" That is the best bet so far as the CPU.

That's what I'd hope for, but look at a picture of it We only get to see a tiny bit of the corner in the covered up A-eon pic, but I don't think it's a match here. :( 8641 looks the same as 8640. QorIQ pics google gives back also do not seem to match.

I myself would find everything else I've guessed about so far matched with an 8610 to be perfect. 8640 nearly as perfect. Other CPUs, I'll have to ponder when we know what it is.

I think the majority of people here have simply 'grown up' and left the pointless bickering to someone else.

Regarding the chip near the battery again, compare to this picture

Yeah, I think thats it, but what is it? ATI south bridge?

The surface resistors look IDENTICAL !!!!!

I was actually kindof hoping to see newer replecements for my guess, but the resistors are different on what I can find of them, so what I linked to is my guess. Not a bad chip, I'd just have loved its successor even more. :)

@ddi
Yes, ATI SB600 southbridge. I think a SB710 would be even cooler, but I know I can't buy them myself, while I can buy SB600 chips. Probably an availability over version thing. SB710 is buyable, but not as conveniently as SB600 is due to minimum units required where I have found it.

Yup, not MiniPCI , too narrow.
If it is the same as the one on the eBox2300, it's a just Type I/II Compact Flash socket.
Kinda makes sense, seeing as it'll be facing the front of the case (why would you want a MiniPCI facing the front?)

OK, one thing I have noticed on that picture.. where the chuff is the flash for the bootrom ?
Is it under the "Not yet ?"

It if is the same then it is a compact flash socket, see http://www.embeddedpc.net/eBox2300/tabid/110/Default.aspx

Lol, Doobrey posted same thing first

Enigma and the minislot could point to Dreambox3, but IIRC, it was said that it's not a set top box or DTV box.

and where's the picture of the case? anywhere?

Better not win a prize... we could start an argue about it .

Yep, Rogue confirmed on aorg that it's a CF adapter. Also 'Xorro has nothing to do with Zorro' and Xena is not video.. linky

Does that mean I can't get it cheap from the cable tv company and rip it apart and use it as an Amiga? ....Damn!!

Ohhh... plot thickens. It's not zorro... Strange question: Does it have "amiga signals" Classic or otherwise

so
now we know also:
- If you are referring to the Xilinks chip, I *think* (not sure, I am no hardware specialist) it drives the Legacy PCI slots.
- a CF adaptor.
-Xena is no video chip. Someone suggested that but that was a wrong guess.

@All

Is Xorro a proprietary slot?

If it isn't Zorro... what would the point be?
Its already got pci slots....

Crossfire could have been interesting, it'd explain the Chip and the PCI slots, but like Derfs said, good luck on the drivers (not to mention apps that'd take advantage of it)

Can't wait until Tomorrow !!!!!!

We can see a number of small black chips. One to the left of the battery holder at the opposite end of that long header. A few between the CPU and the rear pannel audio and USB connectors, something between the x16 slots. The smaller ones near the whote "ComactFlash" socket are probably level shifters or drivers of some kind. Those to the left of the CPU as well as above it near the ATX connector are likely all power things. Flash chips can be small and don't need to be in a socket like the Eyetech boards.

My guess is the one near the battery and long header/SATA connectors. But I also don't find the FLASH chip very exciting. :p

As 'xena' means 'stranger, foreigner' could it be a chip that provides support for a foreign system, say, legacy Amiga?

@debrun

Maybe to differentiate from main stream and do it the Amiga way

Regarding X and xena - my guess is some sort of "Cell" type co-processor

Just guessing

If my guess of the other chip being an ATI SB600, it has a PCI bus "output" amongst it's many features. The A-link II connection to AMD's northbridge is said to just be PCI-Express, and they have a bridge between that and PCI in the chip.
