Eyetech as the new MAI distributor.

@Elektro
Suprised ?

@Red
MAI's main buisness is selling northbridges and the know-how to use them.
Their boards where just intendet to give potential customers a starting-
point for their own development (like bPlan for example)
Thats why ONE TeronCX costs ~$4000.

They never planned to sell them to end-users, but when Eyetech
addressed them about the A1, they took that opportunity.

Eyetech is the distributor for the boards, but not for the other MAI-product
(Articia??-chips).

. I can't think why Suse wouldn't work.

I'm sure they meant their full distro which doesn't have support for
Artica+VIA in the kernel. SUSE + new kernel has been running on the
Pegasos since last summer, so it should be no big prob.

When I asked Mr Garda in Cologne about it he said something about some
 probs with having a x86-southbridge (VIA) connected to a PPC in the
kernel's IDE-driver, but they got it working (and the A1 has a kernel too).

"All" thats has to be done now is packing the new kernel onto a distro-CD.
