Re: The AmigaOne is NOT "just a Teron board"!

At some point eyetech adviced people to check out MAI pages to very that TeronCX ios not identical to AmigaOneG3-SE. I checked it at that time and it was true. For example TeronCX had ATA66 while AmigaOne had ATA 100 and while AmigaOne was able to use both PCI4 and AGP at the same time, TeronCX was not capable to do it.
I have the PDF lying somewhere, but I do not care enough to upload it anywhere.
If TeronCX specs have changed to meet AmigaOneG3-SE specs ... it just shows that AmigaOne is a evolution of the original TeronCX and MAI decided to produce only the improved version in the future...

>"Old" TeronCX = "Old" AmigaOne G3SE

No. Old Teron CX was the board demonstrated by Eyetech in spring 2002, they did not insist that it was the final AmigaOneG3-SE, I've read Alan admitting that it is a TeronCX. At some point they might have called it a developer board, or a prototype, though... (or the protos were really the new revision already, incapable of running TurboLinux)
I think those ~15 dev boards that were shipped during summer were already with ATA100 etc, while MAI still listed the old Teron at their web page.

>"New" TeronCX = "New" A1 G3SE, as per the specs officially listed by Eyetech

No. New TeronCX + dongle is the AmigaOneG3-SE. There is no old AmigaOneG3-SE. The specs have been the same for A1 since AmigaOne the PCI daughtercard was discarded.


(it might be that new teronCX would not have existed without A1G3SE developer guys / eyetech interest)

AmiGR:
"The Terron CX board could use 4x PCI and AGP at
the same time, but: The AGP port would fall down
to the speed of the card in the 4th slot, so forget
AGP 2x, it would be either 1x (66mhz) or even less
(33mhz). "

Is that the old TeronCX again?
The TeronCX presented at MAI web pages early this year could not use both AGP and PCI4 at the same time. And that's according to the pdf at MAI web site at that time.

At the same time Eyetech had current specs already at their web pages.

(not going to bother with this subject ever again)
