Amiga Inc Exec Sept 02 Update : Comment 48 of 91 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Darrin on 06-Sep-2002 23:44 GMT | So what's the big problem with Amiga Inc offering laptop computers pre-installed with "Bernithlon"? From what I have read, the major problem with Amithlon was that it was very selective about what hardware it would "fly" on, "limp-along" on or "refuse to work" on. With desktops, this could be worked around by replacing the odd graphics/modem/sound/ethernet card with a supported one. Unfortunately, when it comes to laptops, this becomes a rather limited solution so actually selling pre-configured machines that have been fully tested and have the "Amiga Inc stamp of approval" seems like a VERY good idea.
Of course, I think the idea of limiting OS4 to "certified" mchines is also a good idea so what the hell do I know? :)
Anyway, I see the logic in it due to my experiences using BeOS on laptops. While my first two laptops worked fine with it and could instantly access my home network after installing, my latest laptop refuses to work properly with it and BeOS will not detect my ethernet. |
