According to a story on PenguinPPC, Mai Logic is finally making POP motherboards. Finally, we can buy PowerPC motherboards without dealing with Apple."

  2. Will I Flamed if I Mention Amiga Here? by metaphysicist · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    If I mention that Amiga is working [or contracting out the work] for a PowerPC board and that they are close to finishing a PPC version of the AmigaOS, or if I mention that there is already a company that has the developers PPC boards [of their own design] that will run MorphOS [an Amiga-like OS], will I be flamed?
