Eyetech have released a detailed update on the status of AmigaOne. Boards targetted at developers, dealers and beta testers can be preordered now here. These ship with LinuxPPC. Full volume production should start in May alongside AmigaOS4.

350 UK pounds is very reasonable IMO. If OS4.0 proves to be
worthwhile, I think I might be tempted in a month or so.

Hm, they mentioned ROMs to be distributed with separately sold OS4 packages. I wonder if they fit in the socket of a Teron CX. Then one could get an AmigaOne (though with ATA66 instead of UDMA100) for "less than USD 300" (price according to e-mail from MAI Logic - the USD 3,900 mentioned are for developer boards including support).

Post the email then.
MAI are not making motherboards except as proof of concept. So your hopes of getting them for under $300 are sadly mistaken, unless you can come up with the name of the distributor that is selling them on the open market for this price already.

Hi Emanuel,
Thanks for your interest in Mai Logic products. The Teron CX evaluation
board is priced at US $3,900 ( technical suppport is also included in the
price). However, we also sell commercial Teron CX boards that include bare
board without CPU and SDRAM for less than US $300. We will provide the CPU
of your choice at the current market price seperately.
Please let me know if you would be interested.

Of course I realise that MAI don't design and manufacture the complete boards, just the Articia S chip. I do however wonder how much a board would cost if bought directly from the manufacturer. I mailed MAI back with some more questions, but have not yet recieved a reply.

In reply to Comment 5 (Seehund):
So it all depends on the price of the CPU really, and on how the two boards differ featurewise, apart from the Amiga ROM requirement for it to run AmigaOS4.<p>
PPC chips have never been cheap, AFAICT, so add $100 onto the price of the board for these, Also the CX has an older southbridge design than the one on the AmigaOne, but that might have changed on MAI's commercial CX board as well.
Please post the reply you get to your latest question.

Why do you want to cut out Eyetech ?? or Hyperion ?? Cost ?? C'mon, fair dues where its due. They have done the work. Dont you think its only fair that they should reap some kind of reward for their time/investment ? or do you think its somehow your god given right to have anything to do with Amiga for Free/next to nothing ??
Thats a quick way to really kill our platform !! So dont be a cheapskate !!

Posted by cOrpse on 15-Mar-2002 20:19 GMT
the main difference between the a1 and teronCX is the Amiga OS rom , this will act not only as a part of the os but like a protection key , and i don`t think the TeronCX can use the Amiga OS rom as stated it the eyetech release . saying that the TeronCX will be perfectly fine to run linux ppc on but i myself would prefer an amy box :)
BTw . I think modern macs also use such a rom setup , which is installed (or should that be flashed ? i dunno the detail of mac hardware , maybe it even loads off h/d ?) on installing os 9 ( not so sure of X , but thats really bsd nehows ).

Eyetech has not done anything in the last 2 years, completely nothing.
They lured us with airy promises for 2 years and they could not make these promises come true.
Now look carefully at Eyetech's hands.
They did not do anything about these Teron boards. They did not make any effort on them. They just want to sell us boards that we can buy straight from the producer.
What's more - they have NOT bought these boards. They did not pay a penny and now they want us to give them money to buy them!!!
That's what they want: they just want to make money on us.
Not fair, don't you think?
Are we to be grateful for that? Funny.
Hyperion is different.
Writing Amiga PPC OS is a load of work, sure worth $62.50.

In reply to Comment 8 (Anonymous):
You call comparing prices an attempt to "kill our platform"? If being economically sensible makes me a "cheapskate" then so be it. And what does Hyperion have to do with the price of the PPC boards Eyetech are redistributing?
I will probably buy a board from Eyetech (if not now, then when they come with MegArray CPU sockets like on e.g. the Teron PX) for the guaranteed AOS4 compatibility, but if somebody successfully runs OS4 on a cheaper board with the same specs from another distributor I'd be plain stupid if I bought a more expensive board from Eyetech just because they call them "Amiga One".
BTW, Graham, I don't think a separate G3/600 costs anywhere near $100. You get a complete, overpriced, Mac PCI expansion card with a G3 for around $200.
Besides, I've already got a couple of G3's and a G4 lying around...

It's so easy to write as anonymous and then state things like they were facts, even though you are wrong...
"Eyetech has not done anything in the last 2 years, completely nothing.
They lured us with airy promises for 2 years and they could not make these promises come true. "
They promised us that they would sell us a PPC board, this new board is better than the original design from Escena, why complain about that?
"Now look carefully at Eyetech's hands.
They did not do anything about these Teron boards. They did not make any effort on them. They just want to sell us boards that we can buy straight from the producer."
So you can buy them straight from the company? Who's producing them? You think you will get them cheaper there? beeing a little naive?
Anyway, the Eyetech board is NOT a Teron, just made by same company that designed the Teron (not Mai...) with same chipset from Mai.
"What's more - they have NOT bought these boards. They did not pay a penny and now they want us to give them money to buy them!!!
That's what they want: they just want to make money on us."
Offcourse they havn't bought the boards yet! Pre-orders are taken for a developer/Linux board, you don't pay until the board is shipped (that the law!).
The full production for distribution through your local shop will not start until AmigaOS 4 is finished... Offcourse they wants to make money on us, it's no charity, you know.

Posted by Mika Hanhijärvi on 15-Mar-2002 21:20 GMT
Didn't you guys read the update at all ? Eyetech says like this:
"MAI logic are a chipset manufacturer, not a PPC motherboard manufacturer, but they had commissioned a low volume, high cost evaluation board, the Teron Cx, to help sell their chipsets. The Teron Cx was never designed to, or intended to, go into volume production. We therefore asked them if they could recommend a design company who was familiar with using the Articia S in PPC motherboard design. They recommended the same (Far Eastern) company that designed their Teron Cx evaluation board."
So it shoudl be quite clear that Amigaone is not 100% Teron cx which is an evaluation board. And MAI didnät even desing TeronCX. teronCX is designed by someone else for MAI and AmigaOne is designed by that same company.

>(alas, I am not a developer).
Well, neither am I. But I saw nothing in the update that said being a
developer was a requirement. Apparently you just have to be willing
to install LinuxPPC and download the OS4.0 beta yourself, plus you'd
save $50. Cool stuff to play with for sure (especially the OS4.0
beta). In fact, unless someone from Eyetech says not to, I'll order
one myself in a few days. It's really time for new hardware...this
is the BEST thing to happen in years. (And here I thought the Pegasos
would definitely be be released first, oh well!)
P.S. To the fools trying to save a few bucks with the idea of getting
a Terox Cx motherboard: didn't you read the update? It lacks features
of the AmigaOne and won't run OS4.0. Certainly you can expect to not
get any support, so what's the point?

But Eyetech have already stated that the boards are physically different and AmigaOS 4 will not run on the CX board. So there is no need to start yet another flaming thread over what should be read as good news. It's not like there won't be another board to compete with A1 soon anyway, so buy that one.

Um, dude, this is a business relationship, not an attempt to become
best buddies with Eyetech or something. Here's how it works: you
support Eyetech, and the next time you want to buy some Amiga stuff,
they're still in business, so you can get what you want instead of
an empty office and a disconnected phone. Simple, isn't it?
Anyway, if you care about running AmigaOS4 on new hardware, right now
an AmigaOne(point5) is your *only* option. Not a Teron CX board (do
they *really* even exist that a Joe Average can just mail order them
from somewhere?), not Pegasos (which seems to have gone MIA lately,
though for the sake of a little competition I hope it gets released
eventually and gets OS4 support).

Sod it, let them go out and buy the wrong boards. They'll get no support, OS4 won't run and, hopefully, they'll learn a lesson. Even if they do save a few bucks (which I doubt, in the long run) they'll get no support whatsoever and, most probably, will never get a working machine. Eyetech aren't world leaders in hardware but they're all we have for the moment. As far as I'm concerned, it's worth a few extra notes to ensure that the line doesn't begin and end with the Amiga1.5

And who the heck are you to make such an accusation? Eyetech designed a board, I had it in my hands, and so did other people here, if they decided at the end to go with another design is because they realize that the original project was gonna be very expensive and much more time consuming than expected. Had they continued you would have seen an AmigaOne system for the cost of $2,000 and much less powerful than the current one. At least they've been smart enough to make the right decision, not everybody would do that.

wow.
I own a 060 amiga3000 and a mac G4@400 and would gladly shell out $2K+
on a PPC board for amiga. but not for this weak spec of a box. its not worth
the money that thay are asking. (ohh boy am i gonna get flamed now)
these spec's would make a great laptop, however for a desktop it seems really weak.
i was hoping for something like the new imac (apple.com) in power.
I would want the power of a 'apple' type hardware under my next generation Amiga.
with apple offering of software for creating a media hub, it can do flash, avi, mp3, and mpeg video. one can also make personal mix music cd's at a click of a button (itunes) and master DVD videos. all in a little slick looking package.
this amiagone is an investment in the future, however this offering is just to weak for this old power user.
if offered as a laptop i would grap one up. if i could get the amigaDE for
MacOS X i would also grab it.
thanks,

I don't understand why people are complaining about the new hardware. Suddenly everyone
seems to think that the Amiga is about killer hardware.
The Amiga has never been a killer hardware platform. So why should it suddenly be
one? How many of you guys think that the Amiga 600 had good hardware? And the Amiga 1200
when it came out? 14 Mhz in late 1992? Wasn't we supposed to get atleast a 040 in that one?
Not to mention AGA. Yeah, it was so good that noone could give us Doom back in 1993 because
it sucked big time doing games like that. And the CD32? 14Mhz in 1993?
My point is, the Amiga is not about top of the line hardware. It's about a feeling. And that
feeling can be found on a 7.14Mhz A500 and a PPC A4000T. So I can't imagine that a 600Mhz G3
motherboard can't give us that feeling. As long as there is a Amiga OS on it.
Stop complaining!

Don't forget that eyetec do have to pay about $ 150,- licensce to Amiga Inc because they want to call this thing 'Amiga'
Atleast that is what bPlan did have to pay to Amiga Inc to call the Pegasos 'Amiga'

Even if the AmigaOne.5 have similair configuration as Mac, it's still major difference.
First, the AmigaOne.5 have UATA-100 and not UATA-66 as the Mac. The A1.5 can have maximum 2 GB RAM, the Mac can have max 1,5 GB RAM.
Second, the A1.5 costs a fraction of the price of an Macintosh G3/G4 of any kind! The A1.5 have 133Mhz system bus. The same as the top of the line PowerMacs. The A1.5 have 5 PCI 33/66Mhz slots. Only the high-end Macs have PCI slots. Not the iMacs.

I've heared similar things about the BOXER a lot of times, you know?
Besides, they gave up because their own design because it would have
taken atleast two more years to reach a working design...

Yet, six months ago, everybody sweared on his own soul that amigaone

No, they simply had no choice: without something to sell for some two

The only problem with the first AmigaOnes selling is that they have G3600mhz. Still, for little more, if you wait just sometime, there will be versions with sockets.
Also With the iMac, you can't built your own computer. You can't buy the parts you want independently.
Please SHUT UP before posting lies.
No, don't get it too personall:)

Well, I wish the board had a 1GHz PPC G4 on it as well, but I think that once the systems start to sell, and the user base of AmigaOS 4 starts to take off, we will see other companies wanting to get in on the action and start offering Amiga compatable motherboards and then the competition will really begin. That will bring the prices down quicker and the feature list up. But this is a starting point, and to be honest, I'm just glad they didn't opt for a 300MHz G3!!!!

It's cheap open, and equivalent to high power Mac!!! (well the version with socket will be, wich is what I'll wait for)
Also, expect to start seing higher sales than expected, because of the Linux community:)
THIS IS THE ONLY GOOD NEWS IN 5 YEARS:)

Ahh this is hysterical. AmiTroll wery happy twoday.
First AmiTroll think Amiga machine was Mac clone
cuz other trolls say so here and say it's outdated
technology. Err, hey what is technology anyway?
AmiTroll confused... GRUNT!
So AmiTroll buy Mac and me bash pretty see through
case into a million little bits. AmiTroll not see
PCI, AmiTroll not see 2Gig ram. But AmiTroll knows
cuz he been told that Amiga machine is less.
AmiTroll confused. How can AmigaOne be old tech
with more memory and better expansion and no ugly
box like Mac. AmiTroll liked smashing that Mac
case yes hehehehe! Lots of pretty bits fly in the
air! Fun fun for AmiTroll. And AmiTroll then hear
that AmigaOne is same technology as PC because of
same north/southbrigdge bus. So Amiga not old tech
but current tech. This so confusing, my head hurts.
Someone give AmiTroll an aspirin. Ok, so first
AmigaOne is outdated tech. But then it's Mac clone
which is dated tech, but then its uses new
northbridge/southbridge thingys but that makes it
PC and not Mac clone, so it's not Mac clone but
PC clone but not PC cpu. More aspirin please, UGH!
So AmiTroll think the other trolls are making up
stuff because they now must eat thier own words
about an Amiga computer never coming out again and
this is the last few gasping words before they
have to swallow.
ERR UGH GRUNT
