AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 242 of 629 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Tony Gore on 25-Apr-2002 21:55 GMT | In reply to Comment 238 (Leif): "Therey are the only ones making them, so how do you mesure ?
And it is outdated parts used, probably expensive to get em. "
No, they are not making them, just purchasing the product run from a manufacturer of the boards. And the parts are no more outdated than the Pegasos.
"Yes, they are evil and that is their plan, to charge large amounts
for the cpu-upgrade, you have found out all about it, congratulations.
Leif"
That is your words Leif, I never said that they were evil. Seems to me that you are the one who has figured something out. I didn't even say that they WOULD charge high prices for the G4, just that it's one possible outcome of buying from ex-phase5 folk. And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the phase5 people do something to the flash rom on the old PPC cards to try and block WarpUP from running on it? (I may indeed be VERY wrong on that one, but I recall something of a fuss back then) They always seem to be at odds with any Amiga affiliated company who doesn't do things their way (of course they were Phase5 then, maybe bPlan _IS_ different). That has nothing to do with whether the hardware is good or not. If you look at my earlier posts, I said that if the Pegasos ran OS4 I would prefer to buy it for it's flexability. But if it doesn't, then I'll buy an A1. They are practically the same specs at start anyway, except the Pegasos does add Firewire (which I don't even need) and is a bit more expandable.
I guess the whole point was if the G4 upgrade card winds up costing as much as a new A1 motherboard with G4 on it, the whole "CPU Slot" idea is a waste anyway. I don't have a REAL preference over either board. But if I have a choice (which at this time I don't, because I want to run Amiga OS4) I would choose Pegasos. Once again I'll say, let's hope that both sides (Amiga AND bPlan) get things worked out to an agreeable point. |
