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 41 of 171 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Some Farker on 15-Dec-2002 20:25 GMT | In reply to Comment 36 (cOrpse): "Alot of people complained about on-board audio ... and I agree , the on-board audio on my board (VH6T) not only clicks but also introduces large amounts of background noise :(. "
The rug got yanked on on-board audio (the AMR card) a few weeks ago. It's completely stupid that they did this; there was no real reason to. A lot of folks were expecting, for their $800 USD, to have on-board audio. Most "standard" on-board audio is good enough; I've got a few systems with it and it never sounded all that poor to me (or users for whom I've built systems). I'm not suggesting it's perfect, but what I am saying is that it was pretty damned inconsiderate of them to abandon the whole concept, flat out. Oh, wait, they haven't. You can buy a home-made AMR card from some other user. <smirk>
"As for manuals ... does anyone actually read those things ? The only manual you really need is the one for you choosen case so you can work your way around the (in recent years : often stupid) method of holding the motherboard in .. after that its pretty straight forward."
Apparently, it (was) very needed on the A1. Most of the boards I use for PC builds are higher-end boards that have the pinouts in a "bare" spot on the board itself. Not so with the A1, from all accounts. Thus, the lack of inclusion of a manual was a serious oversight on the part of the distributors... |
