    Embedded G4 boards and systems are really nothing special. In fact, there are countless vendors of such systems. But that doesn't make them suitable for desktop computing. Any reason you're pointing to Varisys in particular?

    No these aren't that exciting. A VME board (I hardly remember that old standard) and a standalone system with specs that don't beat (by any real margin) hardware we already have cheap.
    Looking at Varisys because of their X1000 connection?
    Their design services offering PASemi and Freescale processors is more interesting.

    This is the page I mentioned.

    The part that attracted my attention:
    "The following core designs are on the shelf to expedite the custom design cycle: PA Semi PA6T-1682M Freescale PowerPC MPC8641, MPC74xx, MPC86xx, MPC82xx Altera Stratix, Xilinx Virtex/Spartan Texas Instruments C6x, DM64xx"
