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 27 of 171 | ANN.lu |
Posted by JoannaK on 15-Dec-2002 18:41 GMT | In reply to Comment 24 (Mic): You seem to be quite sure that all problmes are due buggy SW alone.. Well, you may be right, but have you ever considered that there might be other possibilities too.
And yes, one can patch HW bugs with SW and vice versa, but usually those things cause performance loss. For example. If there is bug on IDE-dma (as suspected) it can quite easely be avoided by diabling DMA, infortunately it increases CPU load during DiskIO and lower transfer rates.
All systems are trade.ofs but what you can afford to lose to get something else is what matters to me. |
