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 44 of 119 | ANN.lu |
Posted by XDelusion on 21-Oct-2000 22:00 GMT | Well I am expecting this new Amiga 1200 add on too be very costly, sadly I am sure in the end after buying a Tower, PPC, and the Slot board, everything will in the end cost just as much as the Amiga one, in which case, why even bother giving us that option, it is bull!!!
On the other hand, if I can have the slot board, a Tower, and a G4 for my 1200 for no more than $650. I will be glad to do it, actually this would be awsome. Otherwise I am going with the Mediator, and an 060 so I can at least have an Amiga that sports support for all existing apps, not to mention to ability to purchase GFX cards, TV Tuners, and Sound Cards at a realistic price. Key word here "REALISTIC".
But what I would die for is an Amiga for a PCI slot, or the Siemse PCI board so I can just put my 1200 in a big case along side my Amiga one or what ever. Would be better than spending $200 just for a freaking case for the 1200, now that is BULL CRAP!!
Now Amiga OS 3.9 sounds kool though, will that be a free upgrade to OS 3.5 for those who bought it? I didn't but I am just asking :) |
