So a case of "Dig before you call"?
Anyways I'm re-sending my questions since it appears that you didn't
receive them yesterday...

Timothy,
Ubuntu Server is officially supporting Power8 (
https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/power8 ). Do you have insight if
they will support Power9? What's the name of the chipset your board will be
using? Also can we get a complete overview of all the I/O ports with Make
and Model#. I see what looks like 4 SATA ports (in 2 different colors) on
the board ( https://static.rptorcs.com/TL2B01/images/boardsmall.png ), but
they are missing in the documentation ( https://raptorcs.com/content/T
L2B01/intro.html ). I would also like to know what make & model the SATA
controller is and the model of the Broadcom NIC chip for example.
You might also want to add info to the site about the optional Microsemi
SAS 3.0 RAID controller. Right now it's unclear which one of their many ICs
will be onboard (I assume it will be RAID-on-Chip:
https://www.microsemi.com/product-directory/storage-ics/3689
-raid-controllers ).

Else keep up the good work and thanks for making this happen.
