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 63 of 171 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ben Hermans/Hyperion on 16-Dec-2002 10:53 GMT | In reply to Comment 62 (MIKE): A trivial task?
You clearly don't know anything about Linux PPC.
Do you realise that Linux PPC is extremely Mac centric which means that it has little to no support for anything but Mac hardware?
That most Linux PPC distros hence rely on a openfirmware architecture?
Another example: Mac's have not shipped with floppy drives for ages.
There is no AGP GART driver for the Articia S etc.
There is no support for the 686B VIA Southbridge (UDMA) in Linux PPC.
Do you realise that drawing on the general x86 codebase is not a trivial task because quite a number of Linux x86 drivers are not endian aware and hence won't work?
No, I'm sorry, you don't know what you are talking about. |
