Terrasoft sell Teron CX
« on: December 03, 2002, 09:38:45 AM »
Terrasoft have just announced they'll be selling the G3 Teron CX board with YDL.

Pricing similar to the AmigaOne, but graphics support in Linux limited to AGP 128 Rage Pro.

How about pricing is NOT similar to AmigaOne, but is in fact much better. $499 for TeronCX from Terrasoft, $599 for AmigaOne from Softhut, I think it $575 from compu-quick....

How about, the TeronCX as sold by Terrasoft in the US (remember, Eyetech are the Teron distributors for Europe) has a VIA686A (UDMA66) southbridge, whereas the AmigaOne has the faster VIA686B.

Eyetech has just stated on the Amigaone mailing list that the Linux-only mobos will be sold slightly cheaper than the AmigaOne G3SE. Which goes to show that Amiga-compatibility is worth something, after all. ;-)

Me, for the difference I'd take an AmigaOne every time.

Oh, but I have, haven't I?  :-D

No. Both Terrasoft and Eyetech are distributors of the "consumer revision" Teron CX, which is equipped with the 686B.

Wrong.
