They did WHAT!?
AHAHAHHAHA!
LOL.... Tell you what, Amiga Inc has NOTHING to do
with OS4 or the AmigaONE...as  BH said in the
interview, he's now the AmigaOS licence holder
and can develop it further as much as he wants.
In a previews thread it was mentioned that if
Amiga Inc. wants OS4 they'll have to buy the sources
back from Hyperion for a sum of money.
Admit it, Amiga Inc lost the control of AmigaOS,
Hyperion has it now and IMHO, it's MUCH better now
that relying on those guys.... Amiga Inc is unreliable
at best.... And about the AmigaONE, the AmigaONE
spec is Zico, the AmigaONE from eyetech doesn't
meet that. So... once again... The Eyetech AmigaONE
is NOT Amiga Inc.'s spec....

Samface, your Amiga Inc is dead for the Amiga
community. They are doing nothing for it.
I also am quite sure that they will not survive for more than a year...

The Terron CX board could use 4x PCI and AGP at
the same time, but: The AGP port would fall down
to the speed of the card in the 4th slot, so forget
AGP 2x, it would be either 1x (66mhz) or even less
(33mhz). The same is true about the AmigaONE.
There were also some probs in the BIOS that might
make what you said true, but the BIOS by itself doesn't make a different board...

You wish... What you say is misinformation and is
not true but I can't reveal my source...

The AmigaONE is what Eyetech could get from the
Terron CX *WITHOUT* changing the PCB layout.
The Terron & "AmigaONE" PCBs are the same.

Samface, you know very well, that I'm in good terms
with people with a CLOSE relation to MAI... Want
another hint of how do I know it? Mind you, the
Terron boards were evaluated by those people
more than a year before Eyetech even learned about
MAI...

Successive Samfaced posts. I hinted about my source, not that Samface didn't know it already...
I could ask MAI themselves as well...

That was a limitation of the Softex BIOS.

Yes, set your brain to thinking mode, and you'll

Ehm, Samface, without saying that the AmigaONE
is bad, it's very good for what it is, the "improvements", were changes in the machine
specs, done so that the PCB will need no changes
that's why there are so many unsoldered stuff in
the Teron/AmigaONE boards, the Teron is an evalutation design, in order to make boards you
want for testing or production.
