Aaa-ha! So, now we know how it will be applied, now the question is what they have put in those CPLDs, like if there are any extra goodies besides the Articia bugfixes.
I wonder if these "sandwiched" PCBs will fit unaltered on, say, a Teron board.

In the industry is known as an interposer.
The extra chips are Lattice Vantis CPLD's (Complex Programmable Logic Devices). Whow knows what the code does?
Not sure why they've use two devices on the board, instead of one. It may be an issue that one can get more IO pins from using two smaller packages than one large on. This is certainly the case for PQFP ones like that shown, but a BGA package may be more appropriate in this case.
Where I work, we call these thingies surfboards...

"We finally solved all this a week and a half ago. Plus, we have added a couple of other features that are better accomplished in hardware than software (and don't believe a few lines of code will make the first patch work)."

No, no I didn't miss off any smiley.
I doubt the extra features are of too much use to anyone other than an OS programmer. It may, for example have different PCI arbitration algorithms or power management settings.
Adding to a chip in this fasion is not going to add anything to performance above the designed spec or add to the feature set.

"Not sure why they've use two devices on the board, instead of one."
Just a wild guess, but looking at a Pegasos motherboard suggests an
explanation: This way, it will fit without the need to move any other
components on the motherboard.

In reply to Comment 6 (Neil Thomas):
There are couple reasons for them to use 2 small chips instead of single bigger one.
- They are more easily placed to board that has to fit on existing motherboards
- Smaller chips are usually faster (talking about 2.5ns graded chip here)
- 2 Smaller chips are way cheaper then getting single BIG One and easier to find decent quantities on short notice.

He can try to sue me too, because I'm going to make some quotes here (but he has no case anyway, since his original message is posted in a public form from the start, you don't even have to register or join any group to see it. It's completely open on the web.).

BBRV: "We finally solved all this a week and a half ago. Plus, we have added a couple of other features that are better accomplished in hardware than software (and don't believe a few lines of code will make the first patch work)."
And how missleading it is to speak about 40 cents hardware, as if it was the hardware in this case that was the interesting part (it's only an ugly attempt to belittle Genesi's efforts). The interesting part is the R&D resources that Genesi has put down to track the bugs and find corrections for it. And as Neil Thomas said above: "The extra chips are Lattice Vantis CPLD's (Complex Programmable Logic Devices). Whow knows what the code does?". Coding the chips means even more R&D resources. The cost of the "40 cents hardware" is only interesting when it comes to correcting faulty boards.

It's a pity that he looks at it that way. It was an invitation for cooperation. It was (and still is, IMHO) a business opportunity for Eyetech. I mean, eyetech sells Teron mobos that are identical to Terrasoft's Teron mobos, but to a much higher price. Genesi is offering Eyetech to sell the Pegasos as A1 instead. The Pegasos is superiour to the Teron featurewize, and they would make more money in two ways:
1) Higher quantity - Lots of people on the Amiga market (including myself) would *never* buy that bulky (and buggy?) Teron board and keep investing in it and filling its PCI slots just to get it up and running the way we want (adding sound, adding firewire). The Pegasos is the only thinkable alternative for many of us.
2) Better profit margins - BBRV: "We know what Eyetech pays for the Teron/A1; we know what the A1 distributors pay. We would be willing to match the prices all around less 5% and provide an immediate solution to the community. We make the Pegasos. Eyetech does not. We have many of the same distributors. We can compensate Allan Redhouse through his success (something he is clearly about to loose with YDL Teron pricing). Hyperion too." And: "If we pulled eveyone together on this we might even honor those $50 coupons!"
I whish that Eyetech would make contact with Genesi to see if they really mean what they say:
BBRV: "We can forget the past if you can. We need to get into the same boat. Amiga Inc. has lost its leadership mantel. Selling coupons, promoting unachievable concepts and making wild claims about the next deal have worn tired and false." And: "We will give Hyperion a board. We will support the A1 Betatesters as we have our own. We don't have to trade sources or get Ralph having a beer with Ben, but we could all move ahead this way."
Give peace a chance, anyone?

I'm sure Genasi will get deal with MAI of this fix to be integrated to next generation of ArticaS (s2 ?).. afterall it's much cheaper to purchase/install one big chip than make al this patchy thig just to get it work. But there is also important question of time.
Assuming this fix works (and is essential.. I don't know enough to justify), how long will it take before it's fully intergated to Mai chip. There will be time for design, time for serious testing, time for mass procuding. How long that all will take???

Actually, I know a little about copyright. Copyright only applies to someones *work* (as in work of art, achievement, production, etc), i e the work has to reach up to a "certain level". And even if this would have been considered to be a "work" (which it isn't, it's only a post in a debate - copyright doesn't apply in this case!), you are allways allowed to make quotations (of text).
If he would have wanted to keep these words secret, he shouldn't have made them publically available on the web.

Bullshit, the past have shown sufficiently that there was too much PR annoucement whithout real intention behind. The fact is bbvr knows perfectly that his offers will never be accepted. We call that, "I take the good role and you the bad". In french we wall that "démagogie".
The fact it is impossible for them to make bizness together, they want control of market (AI, Hyperion, morph, ...). They don't want sharing (that's perfectly normal) and they can't simply works together, sometimes hate is soo much strong. Who knows what had happen, happen behind the scene these lasts years... For myself i trust only once a personne, after nada, never.
That's my opinion, that's sad they take these road but you can't change it.

I see your point. But OTOH it's a two way street. Alan's respond to the above mentioned pictures (as well as BBRV's previous statements) is posted in the AmigaOne group, and not here (or at amiga.org where the statements origins from, right?).
You see, the debate is taking part on several forums on the net, not only in the AmigaOne group. Public statements from big players are destined to be discussed everywhere. I see nothing strange about that.

This is what everyone expected after the massive announcement of the April chip People thought it was a more up to date southbridge, with USB2 and Firewire and everything built-in to make it more up to date. Or something else equally cool.
In the end it turned out to be two small chips to *fix a bug* on their motherboard.
Yeah, way to go! It wasn't worth announcing, and the AmigaOne already has such a fix and Eyetech didn't think it was worth announcing anything about.

Eyetech doesn't have a fix for this bug because they deny that such a bug
exists. So how can they have a fix then?

Well, I did quote him. The quotes was the "Alan>" part, and the text inside the quotation marks was just me visualizing what he just said. I thoght that was obvious to everyone, but perhaps it wasn't. I will try not to use quotation marks in that way in the future. Happy?

Alan tried to belittle Genesi's efforts in a bad and ugly way. I have no idea if Eyetech has done any similar developing on the Mai chipset, and I said nothing about that. You must have misread my post.
>> Give peace a chance, anyone?

Well perhaps that was then, and this is now? "We can forget the past if you can", you know ...?

That's why I wrote: "I whish that Eyetech would make contact with Genesi to see if they really mean what they say". *If* Genesi is actually trying to build bridges at this point, it wouldn't be very nice to burn them down without listening.
>The fact is bbvr knows perfectly that his offers will never be accepted.
Why? And if the offers gets rejected, then why is that BBRV's fault in your eyes?

The terms of an eventual cooperation has not been discussed, AFAIK, so please don't speculate about that. Cooperation and "getting in the same boat" doesn't usually mean one-sided dictatorship. You can't set the terms unless you sit down and talk. I whish they would do that. And Eyetech has a strong negotiation position (well, and so has Genesi now) ...
> Who knows what had happen, happen behind the scene these lasts years...
Yes, who knows. Perhaps they tried to cooperate with Eyetech before and was rejected. Perhaps it has been Eyetechs terms of cooperation that has been unacceptable (you know, Eyetech *are* the dubbed knights of "Amiga Hardware". They have complete monopoly and therefore a strong position in negotiations). Perhaps Genesi now make a public invitation just to make it clear to everyone that at least *they* have tried ... (pure speculation thogh, but not totally impossible).

Not quite, Alan was answering a question asked to him on the A1 Mailing list by one of its members (for the original message),
He was then talking about Genesi's implenetation of this and how it compared to theirs (not that he said much of theirs)
Please read from the original question made towards him be fore saying that he is making comments about comments from here/there and everywhere, when in fact he is replying to questions made on the A1 Mailing List to the mailing list (if you get what I mean).
