So we finally meet! You can't imagine how hard I've tried to get my hands on a machine that could run AmigaOS 4 in all its glory. I've never used the Amiga before - not during its heydays, and not during its afterglow - so it meant an unexplored world for me. You can imagine my excitement when ACube Systems, makers of the sam440ep board that runs AmigaOS 4.1, offered a review machine to me, built around their own PowerPC sam440ep flex motherboard.

Yes, I have them compared. It is not the Yosemite-board ACube is using today. It is the Sequoia-board, overclocked to 733 MHz and with extra memory.

Check again: http://www.design-reuse.com/news/10766/amcc-comprehensive-cost-powe...
Sequoia is the eval board for the 440epx System-On-Chip but ACube uses the 440ep whose eval board is the Yosemite.
Anyway, the eval board and the sold boards are obviously not the same.

Did you compare the Yosemite reference board and the Sam440 board made by ACube. I bet no!! :-)
