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 77 of 119 | ANN.lu |

>People are just annoyed by such a weak anouncement.
Weak? It may be weak to the ppl who believe that we should have had
some technomonks working in the Himalayas for a few years developing the
AAAAAAAA chipset which embeds a quantum singularity in silicon to creat
better than life graphics and audio, but for ppl with at least one foot attached
to the earth, they would know that hardware takes time - even simple hardware.
PSX2 took three years to bring to market, Dreamcast almost four. PCs don't count because they are revisions of the same stuff.
The community needs to understand that we need a good, solid foundation on which to start building. Thousands of people have emailed us over the last year
telling us classic compatibility and PPC are what they want more than anything
else. This announcement gives them that.

>little hints there. People were expecting so much more than just an add on for >A1200s.
Add on? It's a full computer than can hold its head with the best of Apple's
latest line. How is that an add on? The A1200 is the add on to the AmigaOne.

I don't expect you to believe anything. Buy stuff when its on the shelf.

Dean is working on multiple designs, including our next wave of devices. The
first wave is our first step. Seems many people don't understand that trips start with a first step.

You shouldn't do anything blindly. |
