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 93 of 171 | ANN.lu |
Posted by AmiTroll on 16-Dec-2002 14:59 GMT | In reply to Comment 90 (sibbi): >Nobody, neither Eyetech nor Hyperion has at any stage to my knowledge, denied that there is a DMA bug in the 686B (seeing as it's public knowledge), nor have they made any claims that their hardware is 100% bug free, they have however stated that all !known bugs! are being circumvented in one way or the other (either in hardware or software). What is it exactly that people want? A redesign of the board to somehow hardware circumvent the 686B bug would be very expensive at this stage, and imho, it's not neccesary.
Good grief Sibbi, don't you start making sense too. I already got
drumed out of the trolls union (local 304) for doing just that. ;)
It's ok though, i'm a freelance troll now.
Something i should point out...
The guy who posted on Amiga.org about this DMA problem in linux
also stated that the linux crew working on it has the fix and it
just hasent reached him yet. So either a few people here can't
read or they refuse to for the sake of stiring up garbage and
flame wars.
Personally, i don't believe they can't read. I could be wrong
though. ;) Anyway, i don't see what all the fuss over known
problems and thier fixes is.
