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.
Mai Logics part has a problem according to several engineers who have alot more experience then you or Dave on board layout. The Teron Boards were abandoned by the Yellow Dog Linux folks for it, and the Barbie was abandoned as well due to issues with the part. You in reality dont know anything about the company Mike, you are parroting what Fleecy or maybe Ben told you. You dont have the education, experience or technical knowledge to know whether the part performs correctly or not.
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.
Which non engineer told you that Mike?? Fleecy or Ben???
The writer of that AmigaOne-XE review is an industry professional with professional equipment to his disposal.
What exactly is Dave's job that makes him an industry professional capable of answering questions about DMA bugs?? I'm sorry, but much like your self proclaimed super amiga knowledge, I find it wanting. Is the DMA bug in Articia?? Don't know, haven't personally tested it, though it may be an interesting experiment. But if you think what you so strongly classify as "professional testing" proves it doesn't occur, you are sadly mistaken.
