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 102 of 119 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Andy H on 22-Oct-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 98 (fleecy): Fleecy:
You obviously have me confused with an "Amigan". I'm not. I'm an Amiga User, and I have only been for the past two years. I could go back to using a PC anytime I wish but I don't because I enjoy using my current system. I don't give a stuff about Commodore, Escom or Gateway, most of whom were well before my time.
What I am worried about is the Tao software, it IS the way forward, I don't care if it is Amiga or Be or someone else who brings it to the masses. What worries me is if you flop in a big heap, it will damage Tao's credibilty as a mainstream OS. Setting back the introduction of such a revolutionary system.
You have stated all along that nothing would be announced until it is set in stone. I find that admirable, but it is just as bad, actually worse to drop little (or in some cases HUGE) hints, about major developments and "Japanese businessmen" when you either haven't anything to announce or can't for some reason.
I don't care about the AmigaOne anymore, it is about choice right? I'll let the Users make thier own choices, but I do care if they are messed about or ripped off. I'm most worried about the 3rd party support, and the available software, there is very little evidence to suggest that anyone outside the Amiga community is actually developing anything. You won't get very far with just the current amiga userbase.
I owe you nothing and you owe me nothing, but you owe it to all those that will follow you to hell and back because of your company name and to the Tao group not to stuff this up.
This will be my last posting on this matter, or it'll drag on forever. If either Fleecy or anyone else wants to discuss this further then Email me. |
