Who is going to bother? Seriously, there are a few hundred machines at best and the OS doesn't support SMP yet. I don't see any reason why coders would do anything until one or more those facts change for the better.
Don't be a Negative Nelly!
The X1000 ushers in a new beginning for the AmigaOS platform. The launch of the A1000 offered something new, and the X1000 will do the same. I realize that doesn't mean all X1000 software won't run on the SAM or Eyetech AmigaOne series, but being the top-end platform along with the unique onboard hardware means that there will be *some* software that doesn't. I was just wondering what software shipped with the X1000 distinguished it from a SAM or Eyetech A1.
After all, Hyperion must have been working on something over the past two years. Maybe the X1000 owners just haven't run across the Goody Folder on their X1000 OS CDs yet?
@AmigaClassicRule,
Wait a second. Are you telling me if someone actually developed a program or a game that requires the XMOS chip, this program or game will not work on any other AmigaOS 4.1 machine that is not X1000 hardware? Meaning, you must own the X1000 hardware to run this program??
Only for the short term! It's been announced that A-eon's next move is to produce a XMOS-on-a-PCI board that can be plugged into a SAM or AmigaOne system. You know, for when OS4 supports the integrated XMOS.
