The AmigaOne is NOT "just a Teron board"!

Ahaaaaa! You're Alkis, I see.

Well, now I know what you *claim* your sources of beeing.

LOL! Read that post again and perhaps you might be able to comprehend what I actually said.  :roll:

the same could be said of you..for believeing every single word that marketing says... do you buy candy expecting it to taste more real then real fruit's they mimic? ...if you say yes I will laugh... if you say no... then you're admitted marketing in other fields lies... if so why do you believe that in this companys case that they are any differant?.

Yes and no. You see, I believe in facts. If the marketing is supported by facts (which they actually are sometimes) then I believe in it. You have FUD and irrational conspiracy theories, I see no reason for believing in that. It's as simple as that.

Woooo... This I'll be fun...

ET: After our news story, we had a pretty strong posting on our website. Our member said that Amiga OS "will apply some form of hardware-license mechanism, a dongle to his hardware."

Bill McEwen: That's untrue.

Correct. Using some kind of dongle is NOT enforced by the AmigaOS4. AmigaOS4 only requires the hardware verification binaries installed onto a ROM, preferably a flashROM, and won't even be noticable by the user at all. Refering to that as a dongle is incorrect. The dongle thing was only something Hyperion suggested as a solution to hardware which has no flashROM.

ET: And that if you want AmigaOS, "you're not allowed to buy it. You have to buy a new Teron board."

Bill McEwen: That's untrue.

Correct. AmigaOS will be available seperately for Phase5 PPC board owners. Also, that should be an AmigaOne, not Teron. A Teron board will not even run AmigaOS in the first place.

ET: and that "Amiga Inc. has nothing to do with AmigaOS"

Bill McEwen: That's untrue.

Correct. There would be no AmigaOS4 at all if it wasn't for Amiga Inc. It's as simple as that.

IE: AOS4 will be rom attached to the A1

Incorrect interpretation. Enough said.

IE:the A1 is the only board licensed for AOS4

So far, yes.

IE:AOS4 will not be retail

To some extent, yes it will.

IE:you must either own an 'old' PPC Accel or buy the new A1 to run AOS4.... PPC Accel aside you cant just go pickup a ArticiaS based board and use AOS4 on it.

Well, yes you can. All you have to do is turn to your closest Amiga hardware dealer and ask him to get a licensed version of that product for you.

Now chew on that for a while... :-P

then you believe humans all speak facts only? or is Bill a robot?
you must of course believe then the A1 and TeronCX are one in the same then....and therefore yesterday before it was proven to you ...you believed what eyetech said... therefore believing 'marketing hype' and not 'fact'?.

Eeeeh, exactly what was proven? No, on the contrary, I prooved that Eyetech's design is an improvement of the original Teron CX design and that the revision 2 design of Teron CX didn't show up until 2-3 months after Eyetech's version. This tells me that it's more *likely* that the TeronCX design revision 2 is based on Eyetech's improved version of the TeronCX revision 1 rather than the opposite. Yes, the current specifications of those two designs are the same, BUT THAT DOES NOT PROOVE THAT THESE IMPROVEMENTS OF THE DESIGN WERE NOT MADE BY EYETECH. Logic is a good thing, study it.

I just wish you would stop using this weird "A has to be true because B is not equal to A" logic, because it isn't logical.

...and now he claims that Linux is more user-friendly than AmigaOS. *sigh*

Whatever, man...
