I thought the specs for the CHRP were released months ago in January and
that some Taiwanese manufacturer (TATUNG?) made some test boards. Can't
confirm though cause I heard nothing more about it after that.

It will be great if one can pick up a PPC motherboard and assemble one's
own computer like with Intel/AMD. I sure would like to switch from my
current AMD/RedHat combination. Any further info on who will manufacture
these boards?
