A-EON Technology is pleased to announce Varisys, the official developer and manufacturer of the Nemo motherboard for AmigaOne X1000, has strengthened its commitment to the AmigaOne platform. Throughout the Nemo development phase Varisys has proved an extremely knowledgeable and highly responsive partner. A-EON Technology director Trevor Dickinson said, "We have been very satisfied with Varisys’ commitment, dedication and quality. When it comes to leading edge PowerPC hardware their level of technical expertise is possibly unrivalled.

As a result Varisys has contracted to work on several new development projects to improve and extend the AmigaOne product line”. Adam Barnes, Varisys Technical Director said, “There is some exciting cutting edge PowerPC technology on the horizon and we are delighted to have the opportunity of bringing this to the AmigaOne platform.” Varisys Managing Director Paul Gentle added, "We enjoyed working on the Nemo development which provided our first experience of the global Amiga community. We look forward to extending our relationship with the new projects and will do our best to "Keep the party going."

Varisys doesn't care enough to mention it on their website. More sales and marketing BS! Smells like the same kind of crap Amiga Inc wastes their time with.

I knew it, the XMOS on the board has a military application and Varisys had the Amiga community to pay for it's development....
