Since "read AW.net" seems to be the standard course of discussion here, I suggest you try not to ignore what Teron-owners like e.g. RedMelons, Oxygenet, Radfoo, Coder or takemehomegrandma have to say about the information they have (not) received prior to purchase, and what they think about the situation.
My problem is the way Eyetech deals with customers. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying OS4 to the full. That is not what I am complaining about. The fact is that Eyetech is careless when it comes to customers. My board is SE very-very early on and the warranty is gone. I am not {bleep}ing about that. What I keep asking all the time is that if there will be a fix for the SE boards. I would go for the pci cards but at the moment the USB one does not solve my prob. I cannot use and mass storage devices. There is nothing coming from Eyetech about that. So my prob I have related to my board is that I don't know if I can ever fix it. On a side not I did had the whining sound prob which looked like it never was going to be fixed since it was a hardware thing but the second update of OS4 DID fix it. Kudos! :-)
So far about my board. What I also find absurd is that the XE owners with the probs have to pay for it while the board is in warranty. If I buy something and it brakes down while in warranty it will be fixed for free. That's it, no discussion. Same world, same rules. Just because it is Eyetech or an AmigaOne computer you can bend the rules? I don't think so.
Also Eyetech is not doing anything at all about this. All they do is give the fix info (under NDA) to companies that want to do the fix. That's not helping folks. Before the France thing they did say you loose warranty when you have it fixed. And when it goes wrong you just have to buy a new one from your own money. Hello?? Ok if this was FUD and not true then Eyetech should have stepped in and release a statement that it was not true. They did not say anything. They must have seen the response and thought wow better change that one. I mean c'mon people bring your board in under warranty to fix something you pay for and then also loose the warranty? Blimey!Even soap writers don't come up with that stuff.
As you can see I am not really happy with Eyetech because of how they work. Should I just say ah it's ok things happen? Not really. I surely don't have confidence in Eyetech anymore. Since they are sort of the only ones with OS4 hardware we are stuck with them but I sure hope others come in and play because I will be buying my stuff from them and certainly not anymore from Eyetech. Man I could ramble on forever about this mess but I will not. Does this makes me a whiner? I don't think so. If something is great and I like it I say it and when something is really bad I also will. I guess most people will just pay up that 50 euro + and just have it fixed and leave it at that. :-(
