    No information on what they paid for it but interesting nonetheless:

    "the 68060FE chips on the FE CPU card are brand new CPUs directly from a hardware supplier in China"

    I take it "brand new" means "NOS" here ;-) And now for the most interesting statement from another Natami Team member in the same thread:

    "the chines chips are not clones per se, (IMHO) but license produced copies of the Motorola design."

    I have severe doubts about that claim. Wouldn't Freescale know about such license and be open about the existence of such?
