all Italian computer (piefed.social)

we do know we have italian companies cooperating to make all-EU, Open Source Hardware computers, right?

this is worth checking out.

the models i found are in the Sam440* and Sam460* lines. made by ACube systems for the Power9 architecture. they've made releases of schematics and upon emailing respond to questions about open-source

only reason i find they're less known is because they're absolute geeks, the entire company uses old forums to announce things and have outdated looking website with no SEO. it's Amiga geeks making computers that are passively cooled and can run Linux, in the EU, open hardware - schematics published.

various links

https://shop.acube-systems.biz/ their shop webpage design is confusing and they have already sold the Sam460LE model (LE is for Limited Edition) but hey email and the human who makes it will reply, opening shop for more orders.

https://www.acube-systems.biz/index.php?page=hardware&pid=756 their webpage, again they need help with design layout and organizing their information IMO

https://forum.amiga.org/index.php?topic=75615.0 one such open hardware announcement, in as mentioned a forum without SEO. help me find more

https://www.amigawiki.org/doku.php?id=de%3Amodels%3Asam440ep a wiki entry on a computer model in the Sam440* line. it's only in german, help me find more wikis and info

let's not give up on competent nerds making open hardware in the EU (Linux compatible!) just because they market themselves as (badly) as only nerds can do!
