Well, this leads us up to Feb 15th. So, after that the things that are of interest is if we take Shawn's advice and review a Sony PS3 port. We could review the reference board of the PegasosPPC or a remake of it. There is also the Efika 5200B evaluation board. It was very nice for Sun Labs to work on such a project in their spare time - and for Genesi-USA for hardware support. We learned a lot from their business venture and PowerPC hardware challenges. This leaves hope for a lot of other interesting projects in the future. This message posted from opensolaris.org
