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.

Hey you mean I'm not going to have a machine that flickers a dark grey screen and waits some time looking for drives, occasionally not find any and ask me for a boot disk? It's not going to occasionally flash up a red, yellow, or green screen? My god, what have I bought? It's only going to display useful information on the boot sequence...what a piece of sh*t.
Please note the above was sarcasm in case you couldn't tell. OpenFirmware will be a welcome change to me. Julian does have a point about being able to boot without the startup-sequence...that would have it's benefits. |
