The AmigaOne was presented in Leeuwarden today. Unfortunately, only openfirmware bios was shown. Photos of the presentation at http://www.amigascene.nl/nieuws/nieuws.htm .
At around 15.00 Computer City brought the AmigaOne motherboard. It is the first sample of the 1.0a board. Because the motherboard was different from the one that Eyetech had, it was not possible to use the Linux from the old board. Because there was no more time for a new installation, we had to do only with the openfirmware bios. There are installed a IBM processor (without cooling!), 128MB, Soundblaster soundcard and a ATi Radeon 7500 AGP.
It now waits for OS4.

Man, you've no clue of what you're saying, do you? What end-user are you talking about? The end user (your average end user) not only never accesses the BIOS, but he/she doesn't even knows that such things exists. The BIOS is stuff that is (and should) only be touched by power users who know where they're putting their hands. It gives you access to hardware configuration before the boot of the OS. It is not the OS, it does have *nothing* to do with the OS. |
