Helmut Fuchs spoke to a Met@box salesperson at CeBit 2000, who confirmed that AmiJoe will definitely see the light of day. Read more below.
I spoke to a salesperson at one of the Met@box booths at the CeBit in Hannover today. When I asked her about news on the AmiJoe Card she said, that it would definetly see the light of day and the hardware is quite complete, but that the software is still not ready. She also told me that the only "approximate release date" she could tell me would be around end of march, because the hardware dept. doesn't get more specific about it, even to her.
I think this is quite good news, don't you think? (despite of the fact, that on the glossy high quality AmiJoe-Flyer, that was on display there a release date of December `99 is mentioned)

CeBit: Metabox on AmiJoe : Comment 5 of 16 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Chris on 28-Feb-2000 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 2 (Jaeson Koszarsky): If the cards ship with their own software rather than WarpUP then they will
be unsupportable unless they provide out-of-the-box compatibility with the
existing kernels. Not only would they be released with no software (as
existing PPC software would not work on them) but developers like myself
would find it very hard to support them. Even if Sam Jordan wrote a WarpUP
HAL for the cards, the PPC market is falling to pieces as it is and another
incompatible kernel will destroy it. |
