No wonder it was so hard to get one! That's why I didn't do the MTX port
(although other people eventually did) - I couldn't get one of the buggers!
I swear that company really hates selling its product.
Too bad they're so expensive. Someone could make a killing with cheap
commodity ppc boards.

Perhaps Daystar has some boards they'll sell. Anyone know what kind of
boards are in the quad 604e machines they sell?
