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.

Don't worry, this isn't for morons like you.
>slightly needed updating)
Just like your attitude.
>shitbox (pc) style
>BIOS?
Oh no!! Text!!! Save me!!!!!!!!
Fact is, I can change more opition than I'll ever understand from my PC's BIOS and I LOVE it! Tweak till your hearts content (if you're not afraid of text mode that is, BOO!).
> I like the fact that all my HDDs are automatically detected
Well, all my IDE drives are. I really don't know how SCSI cards are handled. But I'm sure that it is possible to choose what drive you boot off.
>the pictures are not very comprehensive
Christ, shoot the messenger why don't you!! If they weren't good enough why didn't you go there and take your own pictures???
>shitbox (pc) style BIOS
Grow up. The 'shit box' style PC BIOS is here to stay.
>lose a
>potential customer...
You won't buy the machine becasue it's BIOS screen isn't pretty enough? Look, have a sleep on this and if you still feel the same way, then fuck off.
> They may even make it support 15.6KHz
I hope that I'm missing something here. I am just lost for words.... 15Khz?!?!?!??!
>cheap crap 3rd party one
Yeah, gee, Eyetech should have invested a heap of money and half a year in writing a BIOS from scratch so it would look pretty for you. Thats a VERY GOOD IDEA. You are a FAR SIGHTED person.
>Call it negative thinking,
No, I'll call it 'not thinking at all'
> Also, where has the lovely Amiga look & feel gone from the BIOS?
Get over it all ready.
>AmigaOne is licenced, it won't stop another manufacturer from producing an Amiga >with an Amiga-style BIOS
I don't know who else is making OS4 boards. If Eyetech can change the BIOS then thay migh be able to make it look all nicey yay happy are you all right now? for you... But you might have to fuck off if they can't make the pointer and buttons look 'right'.
I'll go back to me beer now |
