Terrasoft shelves MAI Logic motherboards
« on: March 09, 2003, 06:01:35 PM »
Directly from the TerraSoft Web site:

"Many of you have enthusiastically and patiently awaited the delivery of MAI Logic's Teron motherboards on which Terra Soft's Boxer ATX systems will be built. We have removed the Teron-based systems from our online Store until further notice in order to reduce further confusion and false expectations. We promise to bring this product to market as soon as possible." --Terra Soft Team

You know that Terrasoft is the primary resale channel for the Terons, right?  That means they get them first.

It's  news and related to Amiga.. And what it is depends a lot how much you want to have that or any similar product. To me it's interesting news item, and part of bigger picture around Mai, but nothing to lose my nights sleep.

Someone please remind me why the PPC architecture has been single-sourced with no contingency plans.

For every hoop that Genesi, Eyetech and Terra Soft have had to jump through there are dozens of low cost x86 motherboards out there.

Genesi has a contingency plan, which they're implimenting, the Pegasos II using Marvell's northbridge.

The reason why Terrasoft shelved the products has nothing to do with the hardware and everything with money.

I'm not sure what I can reveal here so I'll leave it to Eyetech.

Needless to say Seehund would have a field-day when the real reason is revealed.
