Teron PX ATX PowerPC motherboard

[DaveP]

then there's the quality of construction. The Teron board is using every approach to lower the cost of the design. The Pegasos uses higher-quality connectors in almost all cases. Means the Pegasos will last longer in many situations. Also, the positioning of the components on the motherboard can be an issue. The Teron board has plug interfaces at the end of where the PCI slots run, which means if you get a long card, you can't use the hard drives, for example. (before you get into it, I have a pro-studio AGP card here that is from the backplane to the front-brackets in my case, so it does actually occur)

Well after that I have no evidence that I can call on but
Im certainly now doubtful, full of fear and uncertainty.

@themamboman

If you didnt want to cause trouble you wouldnt have posted
that. Lets have hard evidence please rather than just
more rumour mongering.

What you are saying might be true or not, but because
you clearly cant substantiate it beyond hearsay in my
opinion you should have clicked CANCEL not SUBMIT.

EXACTLY LIKE THAT!

Eyetech have posted 7 times thus far to Amiga.org compared to
many fold that on the A-one list. So that is not really the
case.

In this instance a specific allegation was made that was
damaging and public ( in the same way that mud gets
thrown at Genesi ) and Eyetech were brought here by an
e-mail ( no not mine ) in all probability.

I would not expect them to stick around beyond the apology
note that followed theirs.

Why don't you put your questions to Alan in an e-mail or maybe
even phone Eyetech direct?

@strobe

Can you find some test results for this?

Out of interest I drove down to PC-World yesterday to
see quite what they had to offer in terms of PCI cards, USB peripherals and Firewire peripherals. Mainly because I needed to buy three network cards for my inbound A1XE.

The answer basically is PCI remains popular for the moment, USB2 phenominally popular at the moment and not one Firewire device was in sight ( apart from
a Mac that had firewire ports ). I asked the salesman ( not renowned for being the most clued up people on the planet ) and he happened to be a Mac enthusiast and he basically said if you are buying it for Firewire you are buying it for the wrong reasons because the Firewire support is notoriously unreliable ( data loss??? ), few useful devices support it and "its about as useless as Bluetooth at the moment, until the PC side of the business starts to support it commonly it is a wasted port".
