Why post on two forums like some people have the need to.
Like I said there I have spare plcc32 smt sockets so if he wants me to have a look at the damage, and solder one in if possible all he's got to do is get in touch. I agree Eyetech should never have sold boards write protected. That was STUPID of them. Mine was write protected as well.
However, it clearly states that the earlybird offer is not for everyone.
No offence but if your realy don't have the confidence in your own abilities to attempt something, THEN DON'T.

Sounds like a typical linux bios experience to me. Calling this machine an Amiga without the AmigaOS is not really fair. What you have is a PowerPC machine with a generic Bios, it's not an Amiga till it boots Amiga..

This machine should have never been released without AmigaOS 4..

PS I know I will hear gripes from the last statement but come on folks it's not really an Amiga until the OS is in it, it doesn't have Amiga custom hardware in it. It is simply a linux box with an OS that isn't at all like the Amiga..

I completly disagree. Those of us who took up the early bird offer are testing this hardware, admitidly some have given up and put them away until OS4, but we know the hardware we know what things to look out for, what ram to use, what graphics cards work. How stable they are overclocked. This is will help the people who are hanging on for OS4.
You will have a large core of people who can help.

No. You bought a piece of hardware, using the licensed "AmigaOne" trademark, from a licensed distributor.

That these Teron motherboards are sold under the "AmigaOne" trademark means, among other things, that:

Yeah Yeah Yeah how many time have i heard this.... Turn the record over mate its getting boring.
Nothing you say or the BGF's say are going to make me change my mind about my purchase. It works fine, I'm happy with it and I'm looking forward to OS4.

But if genesi bought a licence to call the pegasos2 an amiga or won got the trademark by default that would be ok would it?

Eyetech have got as much right to call it an Amiga as C= did. They just bought someones work after all, even the OS was metacombo.
Would you still be spurting off if the Escena board had worked ?
