running alternate os on new routerstation

[gmeden]

Hey All,
Was browsing around when I saw this from Ubiquiti and noticed the chipset used:
RouterStation
Featuring a fast 680MHz MIPS 24K CPU, 64MB RAM, and 16MB.
My question is whether or not it might be possible to run a mikrotik
OS on these.This is a mikrotik Routerboard:

RB433AH
Atheros AR7130 680MHz MIPS network processor

I asked this in a mikrotik forum also but being as they are inclined to push routerboards the only answer I got was:

RouterOS works only on two type of devices:

- RouterBOARD by MikroTik
- X86 PC type devices

So lets have a further look at this...both use Atheros 680MHZ MIPS 24K processors,same clock speed, and same general architecture...what am I missing? Very curious!

Mikrotik does not play well with others. They want you to buy THEIR hardware, so don't expect any porting over to another device.

better run openwrt ;)
