"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

Nit-picker... :-P  


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.

hopefully with OS4 beta...


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...

What you suggested may count as a alpha-version but (IMHO)
a beta should atleast be able to start some user-SW.

Just take a look at the AROS-boot-floppy (if you got a x86) and
you will see what I would call a minimal beta.
