I don't see any photos and the specs are remarkably vague. Does it have one or two processors? What frequency? The Tsi109 is a good choice, though.

Well... What do you expect from a motherboard born to be hosted in a rack server chassis?

Stunning graphic? Advanced audio features?
Description of all I/O ports?

If i remember well, in some duscussion it had been stated that Genesi blade has no multimedia capabiliies.
It is a crunching machine for services like hosting.

All it needs it is single or double ethernet ports.

Also, Genesi says they're providing "a complete reference design package" so apparently there's no manufacturing until a customer arranges it.

Since you're in Austin, maybe you could get a first-hand look at whatever Genesi has put together so far. They have offices there. (BTW and off-topic -- I've always enjoyed your Hack the Planet blog.)

Nope. Upto 1.7 GHz.

HDB Motherboards can mount also MPC7448, and this is now available from Freescale, ranging from 600MHz upto 1.7GHz with 1 MB cache L2 and 90nm layout design.

Those machines can be on the PowerPC topic, I think MorphOS topic is incorrect. Thu, 26 Jan 2006 21:51:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (timofonic) Comments
