> Very cool site.

Thanks :)

> I have always been the most facinated about the Naomi with its ability to link boards together and continually make the games more powerful

It is used, see Ferrari F355 challenge 1 and 2, Airline Pilots and Sega Strike Fighter

> it is difficult to realize why this never materialized

Money...

> You can find Naomi boards already rather cheap(under $500)

Second hand, they cost a lot more new, and Sega would not make a new machine using old parts,

> and 4-6 Naomi boards would not have been unbelievable expensive for operators given they would cost the same as the Naomi 2 and would have been more powerful

No, not really, I have heard that the Naomi2 in fact costs less to produce than 2 Naomis and is about 3 times more powerfull, so it makes sence

> so why is the linking of boards option not being looked at.

Its pointless and expensive and means that the system has more to go wrong,

Most of this is just my point of view,

Cheers,
