| Production Teron CX systems soon for US$500 : Comment 30 of 44 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by JoannaK on 05-Sep-2002 11:12 GMT | In reply to Comment 24 (Adam Kowalczyk):
Ps: dear Anonymous.. No need to worry.. I have taken much worse during this summer.. It was kinda ugly (and personal) attact toward me on Amiga-one mailing list before Alan jumped out and posted that latest info (that one was even copied to Ann.lu).
"Your information is incorrect about the developer boards having MASK ROMS. Final production boards will use OTP devices."
Sorry to ask stupid question.. How come off-the-shelf OTP-Prom is goig to stop cloning? This is supposed to be copy protection device (And weak one if someone ever askes me), nothing more. Anyone can purchase 1000 of those and clone existing proms with simple prommer. Only chanse is to use propietary-bonded Mask-rom, those are much more difficult to make on small quantities and without raising attention.
Anyhow.. whatever it is... it's been way too long. Whatever those roms are, they should be fixed months ago.
"The statement about the hardware being ready is correct. Only the firmware will change from the developer boards to the consumer versions. "
You are having one? If so, please check more closely, you may well be surpriced for few details there.
If not, how do you know? I happen to reached my conclusions cause I work on quite similar stuff (embedded PPC motorolas, HW-design, testeing etc..) and I do know about HW design and testing.. Question is do you know or do you just belive something that has been told to you?
" PS If the hardware was ready and sold in March, it would have made the wait for OS 4.0 all the more painful....although I do like Linux."
IF.. a big if... Assuming it's fully working as specified there could have been quite many wannabeusers for Linux and even MOS (assuming It really has been ported?) while waiting this OS4 to arrive.
I think they have now accepted this as they are selling some of those boards on their site. I have not tried to purchase one, so I can't tell if they are actually delivering, but at least A-one board is on Eyetech order page.

PS: I just realized horrible idea last night.. there actually IS a part in this soap-opera who actually has something to Gain of all this Fighting and Legalese.. IF AmigaInc ever goes down due lack of funds (and IMHO it's quite predictable result of having too much lawsuits) who is going to get full rights to OS4? ... My best bet it Hyperion (due their ongoing development deal).. And when I thought who has been the Loudmouth behind this 'Stolen code' issue that has been poisoned entire community and caused numerous battles, quess how came atop of my list?
Am I finally gone bonkers or just hallusinating? I need your honest feedback on this one... At least it could explain few things that has been happened. |
