I confirm that the translation is correct. However, I‘m not in a position to confirm (or dispute) the correctness of the contained info.

As far as I remember, the story of the 1000 produced Tabor boards was reported as being told by Trevor Dickinson at AmiWest 2015. This may have been a misreport, I don‘t know. Or there is some misunderstanding between Trevor and AP.

Quote:

That would be an awful big misunderstand. "We produced 5 boards for developers and beta testers" turning into "we are sitting on 1,000 boards" seems a bit of a stretch. Considering how much ridicule they got at the time, if it was inaccurate I would have expected someone from A-Eonkit to have clarified back then. That is, unless, they took over the McBill "on schedule and rockin" playbook.

I have no doubt 1000 P1022 cups were purchased, and it seems quite likely that a significant production run of motherboards was made (a LOT more than 5) considering the number of the people I have talked to that have one or have been offered one.

Why WE are wasting our time discussing Tabor is beyond me. If our developers were going to support that platform they would (a) already have the boards (b) have announced is was a target...and (c) already be working on the port.

It's not our concern.
We have our Macs, the Pegasos, the SAM460 and the X5000.
I wouldn't buy a Tabor board at any price, even if it was two for one.

Personally, I want 11,2 PowerMac support, and if I can't get that I'll settle for the X5000.

...or unless they thought leaving it unclarified would somehow strengthen their position toward Hyperion.

*My* main interest in Tabor is still learning how Varisys managed to squeeze 3 SerDes lanes and 4 PCIe lanes out of the P1022‘s 6 SerDes lanes and to overcome the restrictions of the SerDes configurations predefined by Freescale/NXP.

To this end, I‘m eagerly awaiting the publication of the Tabor block diagram.

My spelling checker.

Hmm, yes, you have mentioned the issue regardinging the limited SerDes lanes before.
Honestly, they just picked the wrong processor.
And with this much time they could have corrected for that, unless....someone was foolish enough to buy 1000 P1022 cpus.

I didn't watch or listen to this presentation back then (or any other time), so thanks for rechecking. Seems like there was some (probably unintentional) misrepresentation occuring afterwards, which many (me included) fell for ...and A-Eon didn't feel the need to clarify.

I think Jim is quite aware that unreleased MorphOS versions have been running on PowerMac11,2 for years :-)

I had X5000/20 and had x5000/40 and have a G5 Quad. im sure G5 Quad Morphos will kill the two A-EON overprized machine many times with same Morphos version and same GPU.
by the way i will do a fast test try to boot mos 3.10 on my quad with radeonhd ... just for see if something will happen

A comparison X5000/40 vs G5 Quad same gpu Linux

take your considerations

[ Edited by tlosmx 27.03.2018 - 15:31 ]

Things for release and debug (builds for testers/devs before release, tied to MAC adresses) are compiled conditionally so You can't run MorphOS on G5 pcie as support is not compiled in. If You want, i can do some test on Pmac g5 pcie with MorphOS.

Quote:

That would prove useful.

And Andreas is completely correct, I know about the tester builds.
From what I understand its quite a bit more involved setting up an 11,2 (we are spoiled by the ease with which the boot CDs work).
Also, with an 11,2 you would need a NIC as the onboard controller isn't supported (sound would require a board as well).

You might want to make sure that the onboard audio works ok under AmigaOS 4.1 before a production run as there is no other current sound option.

No USB sound options? Yeah, with only one expansion slot intended for a video card, lack of support for the on-board sound would then be problematic.

Don't you have one of the development boards?

I have once again predicted the future.

This board won't be for sale with a working OS4.1 port until at least 2018. Do you really expect people to pretend like a ~500Euro rpi level board in 2018 will be a good idea?

Yes.

It died just before the AOS 4.1 beta test began.
Sam460ex also started giving problems around the same time so I opted to get an x5000 instead of replacing the Tabor at that time as I needed at least 1 fully working AmigaOS 4.1 System.
Don't currently have time for more than 2 working AmigaOS 4.1 machines at a time .
As the Sam460ex's is working ok now I have my maximum (Problem was the power supply.Tests ok and works ok with a a pc but not the Sam460ex).

OS4 lacks support for isochronous USB transfers.
