>Why? 2 new systems plus 1 new XCore card amounts to 3 new products. So I'd say that this year's statement is very much coherent with last year's statement.

true, but what's the Xcore board for? An Acube add on?

>True, and 3 is a couple, isn't it?

Actually, what Trev said was at least a couple. Apparently they may have been exploring more then the three they settled on.

Paul's stuff can be pretty pricey. Although he did have a really neat Xcore design early in the life cycle of that product.

I am very impressed with Varisys and can't think of any other company designing PPC boards with a better record of bringing announced projects to market.
And Paul Gentle has been a good source for advice.
