In reply to Comment 10 (cOrpse):
It would be even more worthless testing if, as some people have done in the past, you pretend that testers will be able to easily find some working hardware of their own and put the board together.
Networking, IO control and a few other board types are no problem, you can often use ordinary PC parts and "just" write a driver for them. There is an excellent chance that once a few drivers are written you'll be able to buy a suitable card from a local store or on the web.
OTOH SCSI and Video are a huge problem. More than 90% of the hardware from these categories that people already own, or which can be obtained cheaply from stores is not compatible with a PPC system. In a lot of cases this means that not only do you need to write drivers, but you also need new Firmware. If the Mac lobby can't get firmware then 1000 Amigans aren't going to make a difference.
So - it makes sense to actually sell a complete system that works and can be expanded, rather than seeing your first week's feedback consist entirely of "Why the **** doesn't any of my hardware work with this board?"
