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 86 of 119 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Andy H on 21-Oct-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 84 (Rik Sweeney): No they haven't in the hardware stakes. Gateway anounnced hardware (MMC) did they not? Escom
announced Hardware. Until more hardware is ACTUALLY produced, they haven't done anything more. They HAVE released the
SDK which is a big milestone.
My problem isn't the hardware as such, it is the fact that, there are no major hardware partners
producing the AmigaOne. The only AmigaOne system announced is this Eyetech board. Something
exciting was promised, and major partners hinted at, but niether has materialised. By all means go
out and buy this new system (Which had already been partially announced a few weeks ago), but there
are plenty of people for whom this is not a desireable solution.
I know that this is only one of many POSSIBLE solutions, but where are the rest?
I'll ask again. Where are the major Hardware and software firms that have been impressed so much with
the DE system and concepts (which are to my mind are definatley the way I want to go)? Find one
peice of software o the list that isn't by an existing amiga firm or a straight port of an OLD PC
game? The Mario64 doesn't count becuase it is obviously an error.
I'm not whinging, I'm asking questions about how well supported Amiga REALLY are...... |
