The german computer news site Heise published an information on
Terrasoft selling ATX-mainboards (german only) starting january
2003.
This ATX mainboard is the well-known TeronCX coming from Mai, which
is also known as the AmigaOneG3-SE - or according to Eyetech which
as almost the same.
Interesting detail is, that Terrasoft, sells this mainboard for
less than 600,- EUR (including 16% german VAT) rendering it cheaper
than the AmigaOne. Furthermore Terrasoft will ship their boards
for only US$ 28,- ! The cheapest AmigaOneG3 in Germany costs
EUR 686,- (without shipping).
Without any doubt the AmigaONE will only be a success if it also
sells to other markets than the Amiga-market - but how will Eyetech
be able to sell AmigaONE-boards to non Amiga-customer (e.g. Linux-PPC users)
if an equal board is a lot cheaper ? And what about the "exclusive"
distribution rights in Europe, Eyetech claims to have ?
Alan Redhouse, please wake up, and start acting *SERIOUSLY* or otherwise
the rest of the Amiga will surely vansih - just like Eyetech, if it
does not make any profit anymore !
