  1. A little clarification. by haaz · · Score: 2

    A few things:

    1. It's not a LinuxPPC product. It's Synergy Microsystems'.

    2. It's not a box. :) It's a VME board, designed for embedded applications. They go in a special chassis and sit on a rack. IOW, you won't see them on your desktop anytime soon. Maybe as a cool cube or rack device, though. (hint, hint.)

    3. I wish Synergy would put up something about how much these things cost...

    4. They're going to have a 433 MHz model available, too. (drool!)
