Hi,
I'm returning to the Amiga scene after a few years, and I've read a little about the A1, but I don't have a LOT of time to surf the web lately like I used to.
What is the purpose of the A1? Is it in ANY way related to the classic Amiga?
Who is developing it?
What software/hardware does it already support?
Is it just a Power PC Linux box, or will it run Classic Amiga OS's? (3.1, 3.5, 3.9?) or is it just slated to run 4.0? (Or only a specific flavor of Linux? Will it run Red Hat etc?)
What kind of hardware expansions are supported on it?
If it's just a fairly standard PPC board, why doesn't it run something faster than a 900mhz G4?
Thanks in advance for your time,
Jack
Uh-oh, this is gonna start a flame-war :-)
The Amiga1 is a quite regular PPC board, if you can call a PPC board regular. It can only run OS4 or Linux. OS3.x is possible through emulation (WinUAE).
However, OS4 has built in 68k emulation that appears to work invisibly, allowing you to run old wb-friendly apps.
Anyhow, you might also want to check out the Pegasos, which features MorphOS, a Amiga "compatible" OS
/me hides
-edit-
WinUAE on OS4? doh....
