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.

I'll be happy to stand corrected 
- the only thing I need is a statement from ACube that they produce the boards (or more correctly design the boards, since ACube is another fabless company).
This opens another possibility: Having ACube basing a Samantha on the Freescale 8641D, perhaps reusing ideas from the stillborn Genesi-attempt on 8641D.

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.
