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 114 of 119 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kolbjørn Barmen on 23-Oct-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 54 (fleecy): Well, since the A3000 and A4000 has the exact same CPU slot, and the only
limitation for a card to work with both, AFAIK, is that it must not be
bigger than about 4×8 inches (which should be more than enough these days,
heck Phase5 even managed to stuff 2 CPUs within that space, one of them the
rather bluky big 68060) I dont see why there should be a problem. The only
obstacle is if you intend to have PCI slots on this as well, as on tha A4000
you can replace the daughterboard with a PCI/Zorro board, while on the A3000
you cannot replace the daughterboard easily. My sollution is to stuff a PCI
bus board into the ISA slot (might even pull power from them) and then find
some smart way to get the PCI bus from the acc-card to this piggyback bus board.
(something like a very costly PCI cable f.ex)
