More Micro AmigaOnes Coming

[Mikey_C]

Alan Redhouse has stated that a new batch of Micro AmigaOne's are to be dispatched to dealers who have ordered, within a short period of time.

Yeah, your Meanwhile link, whilst leading to a very good offer does have one little drawback, will it run OS4?

[Mikey_C]

@mattabat

So, what are you gonna do for future Amiga usage? Use WinUAE and run OS3.9?

Now you are making me hungry wayne :-D

*rushes off to the shops for some bananas :-D

[Mikey_C]

Okay I admit, I used a bit of Poetic License. "Short time" To me (Amiga wise) a short time is around a month or so. Now, admittedly, it could take longer. But I read what Alan had posted and to me, it seemed positive that the delivery of the CPU's would not be  much longer.

If you want to take what he said as meaning they'll be shipping sometime around Christmas, that's your problem

No Faleamiga, BBRV/Genesi/BPlan/Window Cleaner/Whoever wants to own up this week, to be responsible for the Pegasos, has to apply to Amiga Inc to get a license

Then, you have to negotiate fees with Hyperion, for porting OS4 over.
However since BBRV claims that OS4 is already running on the Pegasos, before it's finished, no porting is required.

But as BBRV has already said in another thread on Amiga.org, they don't need to get Hyperion to port OS4 to the Pegasos, it's done already. Which, because it's already ported, means that asking Hyperion to get a license from Amiga Inc to port OS4  to the Pegasos, is pointless

QED.

Hyperion have not ported OS4 to the Pegasos. Period Full Stop. Writing OS4 for the AmigaOne is a full time job as it is.

That's your opinion, not Alan's As I understand it, yes, things aren't good at the moment, but where you get the notion that more AmigaOnes will not be made is beyond me.

Since you don't have any intention of buying an AmigaOne or running OS4, why are you bothering?

Mikey C

[Mikey_C]

There will be new designs of that I am sure. :-)

The hardware isn't crappy, my Micro A1 is brill, everything works on it as it should :-)

Sure there a couple of OS issues still needing to be addressed, but then, unlike the version of OS4 that Genesi have for the Pegasos, it's not finished yet.

Also, Previous to having the Micro AmigaOne, My A1200T had been my main computer since 1993. So, if I have to use the Micro A1 for the next 4-5 years, it isn't any hardship to me.
As I said in my Micro AmigaOne review, OS4 (pre release) runs very fast indeed, and DMA hasn't even been enabled yet!

Nice bit of Kit to be honest.

As to your reason for posting on this thread, it's plainly obvious to everyone, that you have ulterior motives. Still as you say, it's your right to say what you want, and I defend your right to say it, even if I don't agree with it.

@Hobbyist

With Regards to payment of the board, I will quote in it's entirity what Alan said on the matter on Amigaworld.net.

Another misinterpretaion I'm afraid.

We are not 'saving up to pay the rest' as you are tring to imply. We paid the majority up front several months ago and pay the balance on delivery, as that gave us the best prices by taking the financing of the component costs (and the manufacturing set up costs) away from the manufacturer.

But with a (very) sustantial six-figure sum paid over to them several months ago we are clearly doing everything possible to expedite the delivery of the boards.

You are completely correct on one point - they won't get built until we receive the cpus.

I consider "crappy" hardware any hardware that is blatantly overpriced for what it offers and/or has issues.

Again, that's your opinion, Since you don't actually own one of the machines, it is obviously based on hearsay, rather than facts.

Ask the majority of Micro AmigaOne owners and they will say they are happy with their purchases.
Yes, I will conceed that the hardware is expensive. But at least they are not unrealistic prices, considering the fact that the boards are not sold at a loss and have a price factor which allows dealers to eat and support their customers.

Please, do state which motives would those be. I'm eager for a laughter

We have been down this route many times elsewhere, not gonna start on that one again.

[Mikey_C]

Whilst technically, they *could* ask Amiga Inc for a license, I don't think they mean They are going to.

[Mikey_C]

Actually the Pegasos *is* sold at a loss, BBRV himself admitted it.
Trawl back through ANN and you'll find the relevant quote. Along the lines of they would need to sell over 15,000 boards a month to make it financially viable.

So, let's see, you don't own an Amigaone
Don't own a Pegasos.

Therefore, I conclude that the only reason you come on here is to cause aggrevation???
