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.

The AmigaOne in Leeuwarden (photos) : Comment 57 of 122 | ANN.lu |
Posted by anonymous on 26-May-2002 16:17 GMT | In reply to Comment 53 (Turrican): Thanks for your non-partisan enlightenment.
Two points:
1. The world will not end if the AmigaOne is not demonstrated running OS4.0 in the next few days. The end-of-May milestone is irrelevant. Amiga, Hyperion and Eyetech have made it abundantly clear that a definitive date has not been set for availability. They have also consistently provided candid status updates, a gesture that very few commercial software vendors ever offer.
It's clear that nothing is going out the door until it's ready. If your survival cannot depend on intangibles it's simple: pick another option.
2. The more I read the cheap shot antics of the Pegasos/MorphOS crowd and their 'industry insider' information the more resolutely I support the OS4.0 effort. All we ever see is unsubstantiated mudslinging. It's not only annoying, it's unprofessional and dissuades me from giving any thought to investing in an effort that pays no respect to its potential customers.
You may not realize it but what you're doing is a disservice: at a certain point I stopped giving thought to the technical feasibility of the combination and started asking myself why I would ever want to deal with these people in the first place. You're chopping off your nose to spite your face. |
