Due to a very big decrease of the Amiga market and a big difficulty to buy products, we have decide to close Atéo Concepts at the end of october. We will keep in touch with users that want to contact us for various technical questions or for after sale service. The e-mail address ateo-concepts@libertysurf.fr will stay available. Soon, new drivers versions with no keys will be available on the Ateo Concepts web site Ateo Concepts

Too bad.
I hope to see ateo back in the new Amiga area.

Ateo Concepts.
I think their 'custom proprietary' system design was what did them in. They really should have pursued POP motherboard design and became a leader in that area.
I would like to know why they are 'packing it in', and not developing an AmigaONE product, such as an ATX motherboard?

In reply to Comment 2 (darthanoia):
I think they had not enough money to invest in such a project.
Phase 5 had much more money and failed with the A/Box and the Amirage so I don't think Ateo could.
Perhaps they can sell Amiga PCI drivers / hardware bundles if the market is big enough.

I have an A4000 in an Ateo tower - does anyone know if the Eyetech A1 solution is likely to work (I have mailed them) - anyone else have one?

I had the Ateo set-up (bought from Randomize as a complete package, the tower, Blizzard 1260, the ATEO ISA busboard, Pixel 64 gfx, CD-ROM, etc.) for a year, and I must say that it was SO close to being a good computer. The problems with them were always the software drivers: their network card didn't work for a lot of people, the serial and parallel drivers were a joke, etc. And the graphics card (Pixel 64) had problems displaying 24-bit color in any resolution higher than 640x480. But as a 800x600x16 display, it worked great.
