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 95 of 122 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Christian on 27-May-2002 13:29 GMT | In reply to Comment 89 (Julian Cassin): Since you apparently just woke up from hibernation, the new Amiga (or any other similar system for that matter) will not be able to be plugged in to a TV, i.e. there won't be 15kHz support. And you know why? Because there will no longer be custom graphics and sound hardware on the board. *Gasp!*
And that by itself means you will not have the Amiga as you're used to (A500 or A1200), you will be able to get some decent up-to-date hardware instead, that you can actually upgrade easily.
And now I suggest you read up on the developments over the last 12 months, before you get lynched.
-Christian
PS: Don't even dare to come back and ask for a new custom chipset or the like. And what I wrote is valid for *any* new system that might or might not come (Pegasos/AmigaOne). So you better get used to it. |
