Eyetech group have released an
article on their web site explaning
the new AmigaOne A1200 and A4000 PPC systems.
The system can actually run without the A1200/A4000 motherboard. The article explains all about the new systems and has a brief
history of the Eyetech Group. The A1200/A4000 motherboards are
an expansion of the AmigaOne, rather than the other way round
and will be able to run MorphOS or OS3.9 as well as AmigaDE
natively.

Yes, but there's no software for it. I don't know how other ppl think about this, but I *might* be tempted to fork out a large sum of money to support a platform which may develop into something, but only if it does something current as well.
I wasn't asking if the thing would work *faster* than Classic as a benefit, just whether I would be downgrading my existing setup.
That's why I never bought a way-overpriced PPC card - almost nothing uses it. If this new system looks like it might *use* a SharkPPC or something, I'd like one.
Oh, and before anyone flames my ears off, I know there is a load of PPC datatypes and utils popping up now, but its really too little too late, IMHO :( |
