a valid alternative in the form of the AmigaOne is available.


So you prefer a G3/600 without FireWire above a dual-G4/1ghz or an iBook ?

Oh and yes I don't see the need to pay the extra "middle-man" just because of that licence.

@Red
Then explain it to me :

If Hyperion manages to port OS4 to some Macs, why shouldn't I be able
to buy the HW in the next Apple-shop, and the OS (+dongle) somewhere else ?

Why do I need to pay "Seehund GmbH" just for putting a boing-ball-sticker
to the Mac ?

@frank

Welcome to "my home"  :-P

Atleast the newer desktop-models are well documented, and you
can always have look at the linux-sources. Porting an existing PPC-OS
should be relativly easy and you won't even have to write a new BIOS  ;-)

Since OS4 will never have exclusive HW that is good enough to sell it
(outside the community) it needs to run on REALLY modern HW to atleast have a chance to compete.

Support ?

Who is providing support for a "hacked and enhanced" Classic-Amiga ?

Who is providing support for Windows on a built-from-parts x86 ?

Who is providing support for MacOSX on "unsupported" maschines ?

The answer is noone !! But that only natural when I buy unsupported HW.

Everybody who wants to do on of the above things does them at there own risk.

TeronPX (A1-XE) ?
 :lol:  :lol:  
1. It will NOT (read NOT!!) be able to take Apple-CPU-modules
due to a different transfer-protocol.

2. By the time it will be released with lets say G4/1ghz , Macs will
be running G5s and/or at 1.5-2ghz (+ dual option), and even today some
Macs come with DDR-RAM while the TeronPX will still be limited to SDR-133.

Speculation ?

Add the release of the A1-XE to that ....

But you can bet your a**** on the fact that Apple will always
be two steps ahead of MAItech.

All these companies had $$$$$$$ something the "Amiga-team" doesn't have,
and MAI's main market is in embeeded systems, so they don't have any need
to develop a high-end desktop mobo.
