Enter The Dragon In October
« on: September 10, 2005, 06:41:50 PM »
Elbox have updated the Dragon status page today stating that the Dragon should be on sale by the end of October.

Elbox Site:

Update (09 September 2005): Early this month our Freescale distributor informed us that the expected delivery date of the first production processor batch for us would be 27 September. If this is true, which we hope, the DRAGON 1200 boards sales will start by the end of October. In the meantime our developers work polishing software which will be bundled with DRAGONs.

Excellent news!

I will surely buy one that is if there comes a 4000 version.
But there were other ones right?(oliver I believe)
Or have they bundled forces?

I'd like to see some benchmarks. I'm hopefull that this will be a good alternative to PPC/Cell, though IIRC you can use this in a system with PPC, but you CAN'T use it simultaneously with a PPC :-(.

I'd also like their damn pages to explain things more clearly.  I emailed them back when they first announced and they blamed the lack of details on English not being their primary language.  Well WTF?  If you have English people asking questions, you sure as heck ought to make an effort to answer the questions, otherwise you lose sales.  They need to

1) Address the questions

2) Get somebody who can understand English  better to translate technical questions/answers.

Why work so hard on a project like this if you're going to stymie your customers on answering questions?  That's no way to promote your product.  A neat-sounding upgrade like this deserves better promotion.

Hope everything works out, looks like a good investment for a second computer...


I say second caues OS4 is FINALYL shaping up to make it worth the investment...

...same goes for MorphOS too for that matter.

I wonder if Quake 3 could be ported to this sort of CPU?

i don't understand all this skepticism!!!

Where Elbox has failed? Shark should be available when AOS4 will be gold . . . . is it already out? nope . . . and so?
