@Ikir
YOU are the one spreading false infos. The ARTICIA bug DOES EXSIST. Anyone on an industrial level knows this. MAI has a bad rep because of it. There IS a big demand for an alternate PPC solution beside MAC. Why do you think there are no Teron boards being used in the computer world? Because of your friend Articia. If you say but DMA works in OS4 its due to a "work around" in the OS4 drivers.
Let us pray that MAI uses the Articia P with Eyetech for the next A1. (and pray it works)
Also ask yourself why would a company like Genesi waste a year of time and money to get off of the Articia and go to Marvell? The gains are nice too - DDR Ram, Onboard GiGEthernet, better bus speed, etc.
If you run linux on your amiga 1 then you know that its bugged and thats why the A1 in its present state cannot be sold on enterprise level. You would also know that the onboard sound doesnt work. If you examine your board and look at the ide and floppy connectors they feel unfinished. That board was not meant for public usage, its a dev board. (to Eyetech's credit they said this)
Now.. as to people saying a Pegasos or A1 cant meet all your computer needs:
I have a Pegasos 2 g4@1ghz with 512mb DDR Ram and Dual gfx cards and I run:
Morphos 1.4.2 for Amiga compatilibilty and native MOS stuff. ( tremendously fast)
Debian with 2.6.6 GNU/Linux kernel which I run Open Office (for M$ Office compatiblity like loading Word docs, Powerpoint, Excel spreads, saving pdf, etc) Mozilla and Firefox webbrowsers which support all the internet standards, K3b a free DVD/CD burning program, and other FREE superb utilities like the Gimp a Photoshop like program
Best of all I run Mac On Linux which enables my Peg to run OSX Panther (10.3) and also OS9. I use OSX for internet and running mac osx apps like Photoshop 7 and Safari, Xchat Aqua, Internet Explorer (yech) and more! I run OS9 for classic apps and games..
So... everything I need all in one computer!
OH and to be On Topic: Genesi has attempted to speak to Hyperion about getting OS4 for Peg but it seems this conflicts with their present business model and wont happen. ( And if anyone from Hyperion says this is not the case please email Genesi a proposal)
