Does anyone know anything about the API/Samsung UP1700 and UP2700 motherboards?

[Matt Turner]

Hi,

While reading about Samsung's motherboards, I came across two
references to UP1700 and UP2700 motherboards evidently slated to be
released at the same time as the UP1500.

Obviously, the UP1500 wasn't released widely in comparison to the
UP1000 or UP2000, but were the UP1700 or UP2700 motherboards released
into the wild?

>From the two articles, they look like sweet motherboards -- Caspian
chipset, single or dual EV68s >= 1GHz, up to 8 GB of DDR RAM, SCSI,
dual ethernet, and possibly AGP.

Does anyone know if they were ever manufactured? Released? Anyone have one?

Thanks,

Matt Turner

PS: I'm looking to buy a UP1500. Contact me off list if you've got one.
