Also, we might as well let the thread know that MorphOS runs on the A1 too. We have one of "their" boards and it works! That should settle the issue of "write once, publish anywhere"... Plus, we are happy to sell a Pegasos to Mr. Hermans and his team or anyone else. Ben, you can have one from the next production and you do not even have to be a Betatester...;)

Morphos runs on AmigaOne too. : Comment 81 of 160 | ANN.lu |
Posted by cOrpse on 04-Sep-2002 17:51 GMT | In reply to Comment 74 (takemehomegrandma): "BTW, the reason to the use of 3 PCI slots must be the mini ATX formfactor. It's worth it! I think that only a few people will use all three slots anyway."
And miniATX makes it easier for those on slashdot that like to put hardware in pumpkins and teddybears to come up with new and interesting "hardware skin'in" ideas. :)
Just a side note though , I have a slot one Mini-ATX board with 1 AGP , 3 PCI and 1 ISA , you have the option to use a PCI or AGP gfx card ( only 4 card slots on a mini ATX case ) so One PCI and the AGP line up on the same hole on the back of the case, this is true with the ISA slot of new boards with 1 AGP , 5 PCI and 1 ISA also.
"And putting all that functionality on a mini ATX board is an example of genious engineering skills IMO. The A1 is a big and bulky ATX board with less functionality. You would propably want to use *even more* PCI slots on the A1 just to get *equal* to the Pegasos in the level of functionality."
The size of the pegasos is impressive .. it needs to be for the markets its targetting .. But it has taken alot more time to develop then the A1 , eyetech just had to make a couple phone calls , genius ;) lol
I just got the ABIT VH6T for my celeron II , and its HUGE , my previous BE6II v2 was slot one and I used the celeron with a slot adaptor ... the new board being a socket has put atleast two inches on even though the UDMA etc is now built into the chipset , the AmigaOne XE is also a socket board ... maybe if it was a slot it wouldn't look so big even for an full atx board ? |
