Luigi Thirty: Apr 30, 2006; Emergency confection port.

I'm the people who are so mad at windows that they paid �2150 for this in 2014

quote:

Black Pearl PC case, white case also available[13]
ATX form factor
Dual-core PWRficient PA6T-1682M 1.8 GHz PowerISA v2.04+ CPU[14]
Co-processor: "Xena" 500 MHz XCore XS1-L2 124 SDS
ATI Radeon R700 or AMD Radeon HD 6000 Series graphics card
Audio: 7.1 channel HD audio
Memory: 4� DDR2 SDRAM slots
10� USB 2.0
1� Gigabit Ethernet
2� PCIe �16 slots (1�16 or 2�8)
2� PCIe �1 slots
2� PCI slots
1� Xorro slot
1� Compact Flash
2� RS-232
4� SATA Revision 2.0 connectors
1� PATA connector
1� JTAG connector

The 'Xena' coprocessor is an XMOS XCore MCU integrated on the X1000 motherboard and connected a non-standard expansion slot, called the 'Xorro' slot, named after the Zorro bus used in the Commodore Amiga. It uses a PCI-express like connector however using a custom I/O layout. The XMOS processor is connected to the local CPU bus in addition to the Xorro slot, allowing timing critical custom hardware to be controlled by the I/O optimized XCore without loading the main processor.

Xorro is a new slot using an industry standard PCIe �8 form factor to give access to the 'Xena' I/O. This will be the route to Xena's 64 I/O lines, which are dynamically configurable as input, output, or bidirectional. 'Xorro' will allow bridging Xena to external hardware for control purposes, to internal systems, or to other XCore processors.

Joe 30330: Dec 20, 2007; "We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

NeoHentaiMaster: Jul 13, 2004; More well adjusted then you'd think.

This is a huge long shot, but I remember a segment in one of those 90s era tech shows, possibly it was Beyond 2000, where some neck beard guy was going on about how he had created the worlds best OS for managing documents. What stuck out was that he was very critical of contemporary file managers and very arrogant about how his was obviously way better, but from what they showed of his it was just like a digital flip book of things sorted by date. I always wondered what happened to that guy, anyone else have any idea what I'm talking about ? I'm just curious if it turned out he was on the TempleOS scale of bad things by delusional people.

I wonder how BeOS compares to it, but from what I hear Be was never complete enough to be a consumer-ready OS, which is one of the reasons why Apple didn't buy them + Gass�e was a dick lol

I know exactly what you're talking about. I wish I could find it but no idea where to even look.
