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 69 of 119 | ANN.lu |
Posted by sutro on 21-Oct-2000 22:00 GMT | Yes, I admit it I have a A4000T. Many would insist I shouldn't, telling me I should have an A1200 instead (oh boy). But I have expanded to the max (really !) and I am happy with it. Of course I would like G3 and PCI, but I wouldn't like to loose my Zorros or hack 500UKP extra in a fully expanded machine that already includes a PPC.
So A1200 in a tower seems a good start. Even better would be a/the ATX format. Unless of course the new solution goes simply to the CPU slot. Moreover I believe other companies besides Eyetech will enter the "AmigaOne" stream soon.
The question is where do I find A4000/A1200 and tower approved for AmigaOne compatibility. I hope Eyetech will produce standalone versions of AmigaOne from the beginning (with or without Zorro slots). |
