First Contact : AmigaOne X1000 Limited Edition

[ajlwalker]

As somone has pointed out on another site. Its got half the ram is was supposed to have and seperate audio and ethernet cards despite the mobo having these.
 
Not a good sign for either the software or possiblly yet another amigaone board with hardware issues ?

I am a prospective buyer of the X1000, and JJ raises some interesting points here.

It is a lot of money, but truth be told, it is a couple of hundred under what my absolute max was.  However, I would like an official reply to the points JJ raises before I consider pulling the trigger.

Maybe Varisys has a great reputation, but this is an A-eon product and A-eon's reputation is at the very best unproven.

Somebody brought this up on moobunny already, but let's just put it out here - the X1000 is ostensibly "designed for OS4", right? So why pick a bunch of onboard components that you don't already have, or can't easily write, drivers for? Can't blame that on Varisys, and these boards have been around supposedly in the hands of OS4 dev for well over a year.

I'm looking forward to Amiwest this year!

So what you making of Amiwest this year then jorkany?

Did it meet with your expectations?

Life is far to short to worry and get upset over stuff like this.  Enjoy what you have and wish the others well...
