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 116 of 119 | ANN.lu |

I am going to contradict myself at this point, and pardon me if I happen to do it again in the future, just asume I am in a bad mood or something that day, but if EyeTech (and I WILL E-mail them) sales this Amiga One complete and all put together, minus the Amiga 1200, then I will buy one, so long as the price does not raise above 1,200, but that is only if OS 3.9 can use the PPC, and that there will no doubt be much future support for it, that at least would be no more than a Mac G4 computer, and probably better too, since you are saying it is not an add on to the 1200 and thus not limited by the 1200's bus speeds (tell me I am right here), yet somehow able to give OS 3.9 PPC access.
I think Eyetech ought to consider packaging the Units with 1200 already installed, and Amiga Inc. should consider the ability to be able to boot off the OS 3.9 partition from within a window int he new OS without, that and the lack of lost resources, stability, and compatability to boot, not to mention a conectivitiy like in Siemese so that I may cut and paste between the Classic and new OS. Then again, if the ability to just be able to click and run a classic app from within the new OS works as good as we all are hoping, then hey, do that!!!!
Anyhow I apologize for being stubborn or negative in the past, I realize Amiga has to be near broke after buying the rights to Amiga Technologies, and I think you are pulling off a very fine job, I realize it has to be a struggle to do the Mac thing without selling out to Microshaft first!! :)
Keep it up dudes, tear Mac OS X to shreads I know you are very Linux friendly so we got that down, as for Microsoft, well they were never really inovative, or mind blowing, there programmers suck, they don't care if the customer suffers, they are just blood sucking leaches, rich enough to buy good ideas, but lacking the creativity to really change the world. But that is what Amiga is all about.
Peace!! |
