    It's been discussed here before but, none the less, the YDL PowerStation would be a reasonable alternative to a Pegasos 3. It even has OpenFirmware, not that it's a key factor for MorphOS development but it doesn't hurt.

    I'd forgotten just how much these systems cost so it's worth repeating - $US1250. I honestly think a pricetag like that qualifies this as a desktop system as opposed to a workstation (which seems to be what people call expensive desktops).

    This is precisely the kind of thing interested parties don't want the rest of the world to know but I'd find it very interesting to know what Genesi had to do to get the MorphOS developers to port to the Efika. In terms of the bounties that are used to encourage other development projects, would it be a 5 figure sum or 6 figure (or beyond) to motivate the right people to make it happen? Are there enough interested (potential)users for there to be a hope of establishing such a bounty?
