Eyetech Group Ltd have released a new
press release, with a
factual clarification of similarities and differences between the AmigaOne 1200 &
4000, the Predator, GRex and Mediator boards.
It has to be said that this is probably highly controversial material,
and that interested customers should also seek third party advice, especially
as far as Eyetech's opinion on the Mediator is concerned.

I agree. Let's just be happy that something good is happening.
Besides, I fail to see I fail to see how Eyetech have slammed
Elbox. The Eyetech post looked quit factual to me. I know a
fair amount about how these things work, and in reading the info
that Elbox themeselves have released about the Mediator it would
appear that the things Eyetech said about it are likely to be
valid. And I didn't see anywhere in the Eyetech message any
derogatory comments about Elbox.
From my own experiance, I would believe Eyetech over Elbox
any day. I have had good experiances with Eyetech products and
support, whereas the only Elbox product I own (a zorro bussboard
in an A4000 PowerTower) seems to have burned something out on
both of my A4000 desktop mainboards, rendering the Zorro support
inoperative on both motherboards. This happened when the Tower
was brand new, and the dealer (Software Hut) told me I needed to
go to Power Computing for support, and Power Computing told me
that all problems with the Zorro Buss needed to be refered to
Elbox (who made it) and Elbox never even condecended to reply
to my many pleas for assistance. So now I sit with an unusable
(but brand new) Power Tower and two A4000 desktops which no
longer support zorro cards so all of my zorro-based expansions
are also dead.
At any rate, I am excited by the new AmigaOne boards by Eyetech.
They look like a pleasing, simple to use, and cost-effective
solution for present Amiga AGA machine owners to me, and I intend
to buy one. I only wish I would be able to use my zorro expansions
on it but through no fault of Eyetech I won't be able to.
Oh well, I'll just have to see if I can come up with the money
for some nice PCI expanders for it to do the same jobs.
Anyone want to buy two Amiga graphics cards, two Zorro SCSI
cards, a V-Lab, a Zorro Budda/Catweasle, and a ShapeShifter Mac
emulator card? :)
