X5000 pre-orders

I lower cost machine may have been hiding in plain site recently

[Rob]

huh, you've got ACube with the A1-500/ Sam 460 if you're looking for 'more affordable'.  A-Eon has always said it won't be competing with ACube on that front

Maybe the next product after the Sam460 is a collaboration between the two companies.

[Rob]

The case will be the same as the X1000?

The case Amigakit had at Amiga 30 UK was a different type to the one use for the X1000 and it was branded too so not just any old case they had to hand.

Cue the 180 degree turn around when the OS4 faithful realise the machines in question are second hand laptops from Apple and page after page of justifications of why second hand hardware is now wonderful despite it being terrible when MorphOS was first demonstrated running on the same hardware.

Tell me what Apple hardware this is.

[Rob]

Obviously not Apple hardware, but didn't you get an I/O back plate with that motherboard?

It's not my hardware, I just took the photo.  Maybe a backplate isn't ready or perhaps it was left open for those who were a little more inquisitve.

[Rob]

LOL.

It was their choice to put it in a public space.
