The PPC 970 is quite an interesting chip and i guess this will start to be supported when AmigaOS 5 is ready, cause OS5 is going to be a full 64-bit, CPU/Platform-independent SMS OS etc.
Heh.
Next time you'd better add a smiley, or some people might think you're not joking.
To set things straight, no, none of Mai's chipsets support the kind of bus speeds that the PPC970 needs to be useful, and nothing is known about the "Magicia" project name besides the planned packaging type. PPC970 support?
The preliminary specs for the forthcoming Articia P states AGP4x and DDR333, which isn't particularly impressive, even today, not to mention when it finally will be released. One can always hope that this will be revised in time...
Pam Han the man behind Mai? I'm not sure of how she'd take your joke; if she'd be insulted to be called a man, or be flattered by being promoted from handling marketing and sales to being the founder and/or CEO of the company.
Believe me, i know! I have asked both Ben Herman and Fleecy Moss, and i have been reading about Alan Redhouse's comment to his.
LOL! Good one, Helge!
An excellent summary of the way some people unfortunately seem to "reason".
Mai has made it clear that the fixed Articia S-chip in AmigaOne now works completely, and there is NO more problems with it! Genetic was NEVER part of this solved fix!
Heh! Keep 'em coming!
(If someone was confused by the joke, Mai has said nothing in public about the bugs in the Articia S, but phase5 (Gerald Carda to be specific) allegedly made the bugfixes in close cooperation with Mai, which hardly would be surprising. The TeronCX (a.k.a. "AmigaOne SE") will be sold with another workaround (probably in January), and possibly later with either the April "surfboard" mounted or an upgraded revision of the Articia S).
The OS5 is top secret-stuffs, but i can tell you that it should be ready sometime at the end of 2003, accorded to what Fleecy has told me :-)
ROTFL!
Thanks! There really should be a Humour forum category on amiga.org.
