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 76 of 122 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Julian Cassin on 27-May-2002 07:35 GMT | I was looking at the Amiga One BIOS pictures at
http://www.amigascene.nl/nieuws/nieuws.htm
It is a little worrying, have they discarded the lovely flexible elegant
(although slightly needed updating) Amiga Boot ROM with a shitbox (pc) style
BIOS?
I like the fact that all my HDDs are automatically detected with the ROMs
inbuilt on the various SCSI cards, I like the way I can turn on/off any
partition, boot from any flagged bootable partition, boot with no startup
etc...
I might be jumping the gun as the pictures are not very comprehensive, but
if they do have such a shitbox (pc) style BIOS, then they will lose a
potential customer...
