Commenting a recent news item on amiga-news.de, Davy Wentzler of OS4 fame said the on-board sound of the AmigaOne does not work, furthermore explaining the chip is physically not present on AmigaOnes produced the last 9 months. Frank Gutschow said on 05-Mär-2004, 23:38: "Meines erachtens sollte definitiv wirklich ersteinmal der Onboard-Chip des AmigaOne unterstützt werden."

Davy Wentzler answered on 05-Mär-2004, 23:45: "I'm gonna say it once more: it doesn't work. There's even a big chance, the chip is not physically present anymore on boards manufactured in the past 9 months."

Will Eyetech exchange all defect and component missing AmigaOnes or will they refund users that received broken hardware?

AmigaOne no on-board sound? : Comment 81 of 135ANN.lu
Posted by Gareth Knight on 06-Mar-2004 17:53 GMT
>Certainly there is. People can make wrong decisions, and so design decisions >can be wrong as well. Features, on the other hand, are deemed to be "good" >thing, you'd never think of them as bad things.

Features are not intrinsically good or bad. Digital Rights is a feature. Is it a good or bad idea? It depends upon the position you take on the issue.

The decision to leave out memory protection was a good decision at the time. The Amiga would never have attracted such a large market if developers could not optimise their games/applications for the hardware. This is one of the reasons early Macs and IBM PCs could not compare to early Amiga software. Memory protection only became an option when hardware prices were sufficiently low for consumers to afford them.

The tragedy is the AmigaOS source code was left unmodified for years. Hyperion have done an amazing job in combining current needs while remaining compatible with old software. Time will tell which approach to Amiga compatibility (bPlan or Hyperion's) is more elegant in terms of support for current and future needs.
