AmigaOne Updates by Alan Redhouse

[System]

Alan Redhouse and Total Amiga Magazine are working along with Amigaworld.net to provide the Amiga community with AmigaOne Updates every quarter. The first two updates from TAM issue 15 & 16 can be read here. Also an interview / user Q&A is planned with Alan Redhouse of Eyetech.

@ Warface

The AmigaOne-XE has gone through professional testing and the various claims have been proven to be FUD.

There will always remain smaller issues to enhance and fix, just like is the case for your Peg or probably even future Peg2. There isn't such a thing as perfect hardware or software.

The VIA Southbridge (used in millions of PCs and also Peg) issues have been well documented, but as Alan pointed out earlier it was difficult to get documentation and support from VIA in the past. Regardless any significant hardware bugs have been proven to fixable through software drivers.

@ Kronos

For years I have read your Fear, Uncertainty and Doubts with regard to the Amiga projects and most of your doubts have along the way been proven to be unfounded.

I never understood why one should FUD a rival platform when in fact they are so very much alike. Mai Logic deserves alot of credit for making both Pegasos and AmigaOne platforms a reality. This is a most excellent and professional company the various companies could learn alot from.

Both the Pegasos1 and the AmigaOne boards are already nice Linux platforms. The articia has been proven to be of excellent quality, the VIA bugs were hard to find and fix without more support from VIA, but they have done it due to the great teamwork of Eyetech, Mai Logic and AmigaOne betatesters.

The writer of that AmigaOne-XE review is an industry professional with professional equipment to his disposal.

You don't need to be a hardware expert to test a platform running Linux (software). To know if a system is good or not it's more valuable to be a software testing (and development) expert.

There can be endless reasons why your Peg does not work like the AmigaOne does. Yes, the AmigaOne comes with the latest revision Articia chips and the Peg1 does not, but I don't know if that is the reason. But overall the Peg1 seems to be a nice Linux platform.

@ JoannaK

You are free to back up your claims. I could list many of your past claims and doubts though.  ;-)

@ meerschaum

Well it's the writer's profession to test software and he did his testing in professional settings, thus I consider this to be a review done by a professional tester instead of by just some ethusiast.

BTW, DaveP has done some interesting additional performance testing for anyone who is genuinely interested.   8-)

@ Kronos and JoannaK

IMO you both should take a deep breath now. Why should you get all personal within this thread anyhow? It's only a computer after all.

Why not instead ask the people you support to come up with data which would prove them to be right with regard to their claims? I believe in the past they have even stated that they would do so, but yet they haven't. Yet you decide to attack those who do try to provide you with real life data.

Similar things happened in reply to earlier real life AmigaOne / Pegasos benchmark comparisons, provided by various Peg/AmigaOne owners.

But overall the Peg1 seems to be a nice Linux platform.

:roflmao:

OK, so I gather you don't agree.   ;-)

Wow 400 postings, I did it!  ;-) See ya.
