AmigaONE or Pegasos, which one will it be sir?

Well the AmigaOne didn't run at the last 4 fairs where it was demoed...

Sorry but then it is definetively no system for the end user yet. If you need some expert and many days to create a working system that's really not what users want to have.

I'm speaking about the hardware and the BIOS. If it
isn't possible for a user to build a working system in
a few hours it's definetively not worth buying.

I don't know. Let's see:

at OASE:
BIOS didn't work (RAM was not recognized, later the
CD ROM device was recognised as a HD) -> no
booting was possible

at Pianta Amiga:
Do not know the reasons: but there was no running
AmigaOne

at Oulu:
No working AmigaOne was shown (because of
some BIOS problems, which I don't know what they
were).

So please tell me what was so difficult, that there
was no working AmigaOne at the last weeks'
shows?

Oh at least this is news. But as I told you after the
Mem  issue was solved, there still was the problem
with the cdrom...

It seems you need very special hardware for the
AmigaOne as it seems that the BIOS does not
accept common devices and RAM. Not user-friendly
I would say.

Of course you don't care. But the Amiga magazines,
the websites,  several show organizers and of course Amiga dealers do.

Oh my god! And tell you what: They even had the
Walker shown yesterday at this BeOS fair...

This is FUD because I assume you know the email
that has stopped the show.
