In Amiga.org thread "AmigaOne G3SE is here! now!" someone reports they got their new AmigaOne on Thursday and others say their Swedish dealer has them now for deliver on next Tuesday. Some problems are reported with IDE connectors and stability.
Quotes:
"my local (well swedish atleast) dealer has got the first batch SEs! That means that all the people that has ordered a A1Se from GGSDATA in sweden will have their A1s by Tuesday!"
"The newer IDE connectors have a pin missing and the cables also lack a hole for it. Apparently the A1 has IDe connectors with all pins so you have to have a cable with all holes or you have to bend a pin."
"btw DMA is enabled but is a little unstable atm so easier to have it switched off. It is being worked on... A number of developers have it sorted but it hasn't quite reached us 'normal' folk yet."

AmigaOne's arrive, minor problems : Comment 24 of 171 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Mic on 15-Dec-2002 17:50 GMT | There are always teething problems with new hardware.
I dont know why some of you Anti-Everything(TM) fanatics are get their pants wet.
These are minor problems. I am sure they will soon start shipping with the correct IDE cables.
As for Linuxx PPC being unstable, its the frickin OS that is the problem, it needs a patch not the hardware. This is not something you need a magic April chip for.
Unbelievable ! The type of ignorance some people display.
Expect and be prepared more problems to appear on both baord (A1 or Pegasos) as soon as they get more widespread and into the hands of normal users.
Can anyone can point out a PC motherboard that was released to the public and had zero problems? |
