In the last spring Alan announced that they (Eyetech and MAI) had a deal which enabled them to use same CPU slot as Apple PowerMac (Apple's ‘Megarray’ CPU socket).
But I'm not sure if it is 100% compatible, because:
"
So for the next version of the AmigaOne, the AmigaOne-XE, we have
borrowed the latest cpu socket technology from Apple in the form of
the purpose-designed `Megarray' socket. This means that we can make
low cost, tightly coupled cpu modules using either G3, G4, dual G4,
(and possibly G5 - but information on the G5 is still very sparce)
technology - for use on the same AmigaOne-XE motherboard. Upgrading
cpu power therefore only needs a simple module exchange. The prototype
socketed AmigaOne-XE board and the associated plug-in G3 and G4
modules have already been built and tested. (written by Alan Redhouse)"
If one might be able to fit third party CPU card .. then I do not know if they need some special support from the OS for every different card.
Wrong apple has gone itanium
so lets see now motorla has dropped the Gseries so has Ibm and now mac. Nope A1 wont ever come out. or if it ever does maybe just mayebe some,about 50 will be bought. Amiga is dead . Now the pegasos team will sell about 1k, better hardware wise, but its dead too because it wants to stick with 32bit os which is better then the 8bit os by amiga, but it wont move up to the Itanium which will be the standard by next year, but linux has and is now true 64bit and real-time with the itanium.
The Itantium has been used on Advanced Servers for a while now . Like the 586 when it first came out prices soon dropped enough for it to be avaible to the public . It will happen this christmas or soon after Im hearing by feburary at the latest.
:-x :-D :destroy: :flame: :flame:
