I don't think this has been asked before in the forum, so I'll go ahead and ask it.

When Mirari is available for purchase, what case design will it have? CoolerMaster or Fractal deisgn, or someone else, I mean? Or will it be just the motherboard at first? A-Cube sold the bare Sam boards but also within a case preassembled with everything you need and rebranded it as AmigaOne 500.

Will Mirari come pre-installed with MorphOS, AmigaOS, Linux, or some combination of the three at the customer's choosing?

Hi,

It will be the board with the CPU that comes with a Cooler, IOshield, and if possible with 8GB ram.**
The rest is up to the user to buy as stuff lilke case etc can be very personal.

We have send out a new quote for another batch of boards, and see how this turns out.

Update:

> Complete MorphOS-related entries from the "blog": […]

25th January: "Mirari Onboard Sound Update
Harald did some additional work on the Mirari audio driver and we can now record up to 192Khz. [...]
- Added recording (48kHz-192kHz)
- Added input and output selection
- Added Input and Monitor volume control to the mixer
- Fixed recording to 16bit. No matter the audiomode"

Very nice! Thanks Harald.

Is there already a milestone, or rather a release date, for the mirari design version with a T2081 processor? One could consider " crowdfunding " with a new deposit for interested parties, for example. -))

( would like to reserve a production desktop board this summer, we need donations to cover €6,100 for the remaining costs of the PCB design.. )

Information : ACube Systems will handle the production of the boards

Personally, I will only place an order once the version with
the " T2081/T2080 " is actually available for purchase.

The Mirari motherboard is truly impressive and
really ingenious.

Yeah yeah, give us a few 1000€ more any maybe you will be able to buy something at an undisclosed time and price....

What a bunch of clowns.

It is truly outrageous and unprofessional for a presenter to make fun of something in this way. Perhaps the Motherboard Tyche from ACube will be produced and sold faster than you think.

It is interesting that they are not concerned at all with the published
technical circuit diagrams, which have even been optimized by
NXP. Like Tichy, Mirari also has the opportunity to
simply collect money

Both versions of the PPC motherboards are valid and can
deliver outstanding performance.

What ACube does or does not is not the matter.

10 years of "just gimme more money" with nothing real to show is borderline clown (and no not on the border to "o.k.").

I have to say, that Open Powerpc notebook was a disappointment for me. Developement time is simply too long...

But I hope that Tyche desktop sucseeds. For me ACube is guarantee of good designed computer. And is a good news that they cooperate on Tyche. But the question is how much influence they have on whole project.

There is a chance at near future to have three ( or four ) powerpc computers to select from:
Mirari T1042, Mirari T2081, Tyche T2080 ( and A1222+ P1022 ). And it is good for all of us.

I wish luck to both Mirari and Tyche and looking forward to real release.
If all goes well, we can select from three performance versions.

Time isn't that much of an issue, if they had just stopped ebegging after their initial failure they would had much more of my respect.

But with the way it is I would have strong doubt into any after sales support unless it was sold as a 100% ACube product.

is there a way to just buy a dev mirari board. i am willing to tinker and pitch in

Nice.
What I'd have liked even more is inclusion of X5000 figures, as well as PowerMac G5 figures in non-FPS benchmarks.
...and a small correction: "L3 platform cache 256 MB" in this image should read "KB" like L1/L2 caches.

Quote:

Thanks for correction - of course it should be KB. I will correct it.

X5000 - it is no problem to add it, but I have no one...
Powermac G5 - I can add something, but I try to avoid this because my Quad cooling system doesn't work well. Tests such as ramspeed take quite a long time and I don't want to fry it. It definitely needs cooling repair. And it's complicated, so I keep putting it off.

On the other hand, perhaps benchmarks for powerful machines are not so lacking. Mirari is entry-level and is not expected to be faster than the G5 Quad, X5000, or X1000 ( which I could add easily).

Indeed, Mirari should be slower than X5000 or PowerMac G5 in almost all cases, but it could be interesting to see how much slower. At least in purely CPU-bound benchmarks, the performance ratio between Mirari and X5000 should equal the clock rate ratio.

When a customer pays money for a nice, good product, they want to
get the best in terms of technology. I will observe that.

Why settle for entry level when you can have high level?

Benchmark T1042 VS Benchmark T2081

Difference + Altivec in performance

feel free post such benchmarks here.
Or send me computer with T2081 and I will do benchs, no problem...

Quote:

We could benchmark the Mirari T1042 agains the Tyche when ready.

When the T2081 catch-up/update for "Mirari" is
produced, could you please benchmark it
against the 'current' version?

Will "Mirari" produce the motherboard with
T2081 (2026/2027) in the near future?

When will the T2081 update be available?



[ Editiert durch Xersipan 01.03.2026 - 15:23 ]

I love how this guy's sole purpose on this forum is to spam T2081 XD

Quote:

We will first focus on the Mirari T1042. No timeframe for the T2081 at the moment.

English version of Mirari benchmark is on IntuitionBase.

"The computer is designed for NXP T1042 and T2021 processors."

T2021?

"Mirari [...] will be an ideal replacement for virtually all existing computers for AmigaOS and MorphOS"

Rather "most" than "virtually all".

Tuvok was faster.

Comparing time stamps I don't think so :-)
