At amiga-news.de there is a new survey about which Hardware to buy:
http://www.amiga-news.de/forum/umfrage.php3Be aware the Survey is Multilanguage, so you do not need to know the german
language to take part in it. The text is also available in english.
Be aware while reading the Survey text that both available PPC Hardware will have
the bugs fixed in the end customer versions of the Boards. Also note that there's
a working AmigaOne G4 at Hyperion Entertainment since quite some time. On a
recent thread at ANN it came out the G4-related problems the "April"-Chip fixed
(not related to the DMA-Bug, to which both Boards have fixes) was a Pegasos-specific
problem.
Also be aware that recently there was appearently a reaction from Mai and Terrasoft
on the continueing claims of Thendic/bPlan/Genesi that they would be the only ones
to produce a working Articia-based PPC-Motherboard ("TSS and Mai have fully
functional systems and stand behind their products"). The person who contacted
Mai about this also mentioned with his post on ANN "I want to point out that the overal feeling within these email exchanges was that Bill Buck's tactics are highly unfortunate and not at all professional. For a poll asking whether or not the FUD spread by Genesi in Aachen regarding rival products has influenced consumers/visitors amiga-news.de has started a public poll. "
