Looking at this card I only come to think of the first thing I learn in school when I had PCB-design and that was to never have 90 degrees wire changes.
This card is full of them. I wonder if this designer ever got a degree in PCB-design. Well, it's a prototype though, but it's stupid to do the job twice if this one should work.
I don't think this thing will ever run OS4 for public usage... I hope I will have to eat my words of this but that's my feelings.

holes "naked" and the turns looked to sharp.
One more thing that was pointed out on AW.net is the distance
between the memory and CPU and Northbrigde.. |

(User information | Send a message http://www.onyxsoft.se/) | This whole story sounds like yet another "eyetech/escena" to me...
They presents an new "amiga" in form of own product like the Amy but they license another board (UDTech) since the first one would never work in any sort of time.
In contrary to Escena, they seems to lack of any form of knowledge of CAD-design. I would never touch a board like this, not even for Linux.
Jens Schoenfeld (Individual Computer) gave a comment about Ian Steadman of Troika design skills some time ago. I didn't have any evidence of the claim he stated until I saw theese pictures. And I only can tell that I back him up on the case that he doesn't really seems to have a clue of digital design.
Am I the only one that think that this mobo won't solve the problem of the Amiga future ?

(User information | Send a message http://www.dholm.com/) | | We have those on one of our reference platforms and I haven't experienced any problems I could relate to the USB bus so far. Do you have any references to this statement as I would be very interested to know of any problems before we go ahead and put this design in production? |
