-
- Well I spoke to Hirch and Wolf in Germany and according to them the WarpEngine
- 060 board is "ready" they are having a problem with one particular controller
- chip (from a PC board!). Now why doesn't that surprise me?
-
- The Warp 060 will be a really cool board with serialports and ethernet
- connection. I know that MacroSystem in the US thought that the Cyberstorm was
- a bit on the slow side.
-
- When I spoke to the guy in the US I asked about the future like if they would
- make a PPC board and the answear was that still had not even been contacted by
- AT!! This really sucks! How close is the cooperation between AT and Phase5?
- Are Phase5 going to do all development for AT or what??
-
- According to MacroSystem Germany (which has nothing in common with MS in US
- except the name) claim that the WarPengine 040 still delivers higher datarates
- over the processor bus than the "bug ridden" Cyberstorm.
-
- >What I would like to know is: Will there also be a WarpEngine 040
- >again
-
- From what I heard when people with 040 WarpEngines uppgrade to 060's the 040's
- will be refurbrished and sold again.
