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 101 of 119 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Stefan on 22-Oct-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 98 (fleecy): > All I have heard is complaints about an average PC spec.
> Fact. There is no PC with the spec of the product announced.
- One AmigaDE friendly host processor (PPC, x86, Arm, SH4, MIPS)
- 64MB+ memory
- Next Generation Matrox graphics card
- Creative EMU10K1 based audio card
- 10 GB+ HD
- CD/DVD
- USB 1.0
- Firewire
- 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 56k modem
- Spare PCI slots for expandibility
If this is what you are refering to, then almost every single PC of today complies to the AmigaOne specs (or were you referring to the A1200/4000 "add-on" from Eyetech?).
It's not that I'm against using standard PC components. Not at all. In fact, I strongly believe that is the only way to go. But somehow I got the impression that the AmigaOne would be something that differed from the rest (in some areas at least). But when the "specs" was released, it was clear that this wasn't the case. |
