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 44 of 171 | ANN.lu |
Posted by AmiTroll on 15-Dec-2002 20:52 GMT | Interesting,
The Arctica aparently has a bug with DMA and needs a SW patch to
get it running smoothly again so the A1 and Peg come up with solutions.
April chip in the Peg and SW in OS4. Why aint these whiney linux gurus
out there (you know which of you are the whiney ones) slapping up the
kernal patch for linux right now instead of waiting on Hyperion to do
it for you? I dont want to imply that linux user base cant handle it
but hey.. put up or shut up already. I mean linux isnt exactly owned,
copyrighted, patented, and sold by a parent company. Am i right? :)
Anyway, dosent the Peg board have two problems in it? The reason for
the April chip right? Seems to me in a thread not long ago alot of
people were spouting that along with the DMA flaw there is another
bug, and Amiga and linux are doomed to horrible fates, but then maybe
its a Peg only bug and not related to Amiga. Maybe someone can clarify
on this.
Oh, and if you people cant tell a plugged pinhole from an unpluged
pinhole, why are you spending 1000's on hardware? Or for that matter,
why are you even opening the damned case!? Seems a bit much for you
if you dont even know how to connect devices to your systems. Best
find the proper cable instead of takeing the clippers to your mobo.
Then again, its yours to destroy so, happy clipping. :)
I'm sorry, i wen't and made sense again didnt i? I really need to
stop doing that. It dosent look good when your a troll you know.
As always...
