Amiga One on Tour
« on: May 10, 2002, 09:25:09 PM »
I'm on the mailing list of Computer City and got this today;

Conputer City will be displaying the Amiga One on the AGGF meeting in Leeuwaarden (The Netherlands) on the 25th of May.

"the Amiga One " and not "an Amiga One" ??

Minor mistake or will their be no dev-boards before ?

(Leaving Alans prototype as the only Amiga One)

Just curious  :-o

No just curious !

So will they show a "dev-board" or Alans prototype, that
(according to many rumours) is just a relabeled TeronCX
with slower CPU, older southbridge and doesn't have the
A1-features like ethernet or sound ?

An answer to that question should be interesting.

Kronos: read: May 25th. Thats around 8 weeks after
the order-deadline. Eyetech said that their
customers will get their boards in April or in the first
two weeks of May. So it must be the developer
version and just some prototype!

And it may even run OS4beta! Wahoo!

Well, the mailing doesn't say, just that they will be demonstrating AN Amigaone..

I was surprised to read this..

@Zacman;

I don't think they will show anything OS4 related.. (Knowing Computer City, they would be shouting that they would show of OS4, and "forget" the AmigaOne.. ;-)

Veeeeeery unlikely  :-x

According to Bens posts on ann.lu :

Petunia isn't running on ExecSG atm (and still misses a lot of opcodes)
Intuition hasn't been recompiled and intregrated.
There are still some chipset-dependancies

Even if we assume he just poured some sand in our eyes, some things
would still be needed to run it on the A1:
"boot-file" (like vmlinux)
IDE-driver (for the VIA-southbridge)
KBD-driver
PCI/AGP-driver

And remember under 3 weeks...

Really only the Boot-Loader will be need to kinda demo the beta , thru serial port debug or summi :D.
The boot shouldn't be to hard tho , IIRC hyperion were basing work on the linuxAPUS kernel or something along those lines

I hope that to Ron. Just before my holiday I will be able to run the beta of OS4. That's the way it should be. :-)
