Greetings to Norway, where the 1st Natami MX arrived
theses days!

Rune joins the active developers with
his board. He has already developed AHI drivers
for Natamis 8 voices 16+8bit Paula succesor Paulina
and will surely create more in the future!

This week the first Natami MX boards left Germany!

Our long time team-members Guillaume and André will focus
on test and development. Gui is a professional musician
and will also verify the analog output quality of the
sound part, while André will continue with his focus on
the software distribution and verification tools.

At Sunday the 17th of July Jens, Thomas and I met and
Thomas brought us 2 Natami MX boards! There will be even more
boards for driver development soon.

In the meantime, we will enhance the board usage documentation
from a developers perspective, to make it more easy for
other devs and testers to start. When Thomas arrived, we had
already prepared a HD, that started without problems connected
to the Natami.

Jens will also be busy with integrating his N68050
softcore into the design, which will make the still used
68060 card optional at some point.

Also note the S/P Dif connector that is assembled for
our boards as well as the passive CPU cooler on the 060.
