Amiga have just released this press release about the AmigaOne hardware spec. Eyetech will build the first actual boxes, which are Classic Amiga/AmigaOne hybrids (both A1200 and A4000-based models will be available) and will be based on PPC. They are scheduled for a Q1 2001 release. First stand-alone AmigaOnes should ship in Q3 2001. Also, the development of the Classic AmigaOS will continue with v3.9 coming out before Christmas.

Amiga announces the AmigaOne : Comment 100 of 119 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Alkis Tsapanidis on 22-Oct-2000 22:00 GMT | Ahem...People are still complaing of no A 3000 support...
Emm even if the predator doesn't fit in a ppc card(I think
it does) the 4000, 4000T and 3000 have THE SAME cpu slot.
I'm sure that if the predator doesn't plug in the ppc card
it will plug in the cpu slot, so what's the problem?
Yes it almost surely it will need some DIY in the tower
or the 3000 desktop but the point is that it will work!
I hope that someone will find a solution for the mediator
too to run the AmigaDE on all existing busboards but I
think that this can only work with the OS hosted on linux
with a linux mediator driver as Matrox will not release a
PCI G800...
As for the pci case, I like all the busboards but the G-Rex
has a VERY unprofesional pcb... The mediator has a much cleaner
pcb and the Predator should look like that because if I had
a G-Rex on my machine with a voodoo 3 card on it I would be
afraid not to touch it and break it into 2 pieces as having
a so bad layed out pcb can cause many physical problems...
As for the case of the competition I can't say anything...
I think that it's stupid for all of them...DCE just lost
possible buyers of the G-Rex just by doing this licence
stuff and annoying everyone...DCE I think you should act
like elbox by releasing something and then try to make
people buy it by making more drivers than the competitors
and not by licencing the most important driver os it would
be available only for your solution...I hope eyetech won't
do something like that too... |
