AmigaOne X1000 booting AmigaOS4.1 Update 3

[magnetic]

I also have to agree with Franko that the PPC based Amigas have none of the allure or excitement that I still find on classic Amigas.

I think you are a little heavy handed about NG amigas, but I do understand the disappointment   in the X1000.

Here we go again the mighty know all once again speculation and conjecturing about me and wrong as usual... :roflmao:

You must really fancy me or something... big kiss to magnetic my secret admirer...

No I just cant stand your lies and bull****. Please tell us what your most modern computer  and os is?? What is it again Tiger on an imac?

YOU HAVE NEVER OWNED AN NG SYSTEM NOR CAN AFFORD AN NG SYSTEM SO STFU ABOUT NG IN GENERAL.

And DO NOT speak for the amiga community, you are a poor representative.

I can see that some non-technical people may not understand the development cycle and may genuinely believe that.  Some people in this thread I'm sure DO know it, and realise that what they are saying is a nugget of purest FUD.

Spirantho, you are half right. As far as the non techies you have a point. As far as the developers that are posting, these people dont spread FUD they spread TRUTH. Its their opinion.

Agree regarding how the video only essentially gave people nits to pick about the machine.  At the very least, it would have taken 2 minutes to add a text disclaimer "slow booting due to debug code" or similar.  I would expect it to boot up just as quick as my SAM does once it's released.  Or simply release such a video when it actually boots to OS in seconds rather than essentially minutes, lol.
.

Well I do agree with you somewhat as far as the vid being "bad"  There are some factors


1. This guy posting this is a tech for Amikit. Just for him to take the time to get the cam going and digitize the footage, edit it and post it up is a plus. I'm sure the guy is crazy busy.

2. It was not an attempt at a promo vid, just to show it working.

3. Hyperion or their partner should have already had a pro video out about this system. Especially after all that silly "What is X" hype.


**EDIT*** This just in

  Chris apologized for the quality, but he only had time to run off a quick video in between setting up and testing Nemo 2.1 motherboards. He has promised to produce another video showing AmigaOS4 running various demos when he has more time.

ok fair enough lets look at this "FUD" term ppl on these boards throw around a lot

F ear  Hmm I dont think anyone is 'afraid' of anything

U ncertainty   Yes plenty of that on this project

D oubt  Again much of that

So I guess you are almost right about "FUD"

As a big fan of MorphOS2.x and someone who constantly watches the progress of OS4, I look forward to seeing actual test results of OS4 on the X1000 which will prove (or fail to prove) your assertion that it will "flatten little used Apple machines".

Dave you are right here. The thing to remember is it doesnt matter how fast the cpu or board is on a white paper.. it comes down to development and drivers. X1000 is a long way off from crushing Morphos 2.x on a PMAC
