| Clearification.
As far as I understand it hyperion's contract with A.inc does not allow for them to develop versions >4.0
Anyway, as saimo said, why bother with this right now?
edit: as I am writing this, i suddenly remember that rogue has answered this but cannot remember what he said.

Low power/noise computing ftw!
And the Geekport does tickle my fancy, I'm really looking forward for a finaliced price (and the Geekport documentation). |

Depending on the final cost it may be interesting to hook up a half dozen Amy05s and try some parallel computing projects et al. AmiBeowulf anyone? (just kidding.. sorta)
The important thing is this is a start. Hopefully the start of many more OS4 projects to come.

| Niiice! I like the geekport idea. Suggestion: route the audio in/out signals from the built-in sound to it, modern sound cards have some pretty good ADCs in them. Too bad you can't do the same with video...
The only thing left now is price, which I imagine will be revealed this weekend.
Hey Hyperion, get busy and buy one of those things so you can get with the portin'! |

On second thoughts, this may interfere with the funky automagic speaker detection logic in the audio chip... |

Hmm. One IDE port is a serious limitation. I hope a future revision will have a SATA controller or at least additional IDE ports.

| The board also contains an SIL0680 - so that provides IDE etc.. the geode also supplies another IDE..
So you got two ports - two channels on each.
You could have up to 4 things  |

| This is wonderful! Maybe we will finally have some hardware for the public to run OS4 on. Great updates, thanks!

Thanks for your direct and honest update. Much appreciated.
I eagerly await update part 2.

Sorry but I have to ask one thing about the Amy..
The "south bridge" has one channel IDE which I suppose is for DVD/CD-ROM and/or
burners. So my question is.. Is Sil680 still the chip used for harddrives or have you
made a upgrade to SATA in the final revision? If so, how many channels? I guess 2
but 4 would also be nice.  Last edited by Samwel on 13-Sep-2006 at 07:27 PM.

Will it be possible to overclock the 800MHz 750GL to 1GHz?
