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 78 of 119 | ANN.lu |

I have to agree to that. I know that the new Amiga isn't about hardware, and I know that Amiga Inc isn't. But, nevertheless, you have spoken about the exciting new HW specs that would be the "Amiga One" for some time now.
In the latest "executive update", Bill said: "Because of this input we have begun negotiations for a brand new design. Most of the details have been worked out, and I hope to have the finished announcement ready by the middle of october. It is my firm belief that you will all be very pleased and excited."
And then you post the specs:
- One AmigaDE friendly host processor (PPC, x86, Arm, SH4, MIPS)
- 64MB+ memory
- Next Generation Matrox graphics card
- Creative EMU10K1 based audio card
- 10 GB+ HD
- CD/DVD
- USB 1.0
- Firewire
- 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
- 56k modem
- Spare PCI slots for expandibility
So, is this all? What's so "brand new" about a standard PC design? Is it the new Matrox card? Is it the "other" processors? |
