well, really i think the question is less whether anyone wishes x1k to fail, but perhaps if it actually failed already. as there is no substantial coverage on this subject since the a1k has been demoed in summer, the question arises, has it really been *x1k* that has been "demoed" and if yes why it couldnt be released yet, at least to beta testers. the reason might be the major design bugs followed by complete redesign, as it was in case of natami. the difference is thomas hirsch has openly admitted the new board/memory controller has to be designed from the scratch, and doing all that single handedly in his free time of course cannot compare to a professional company like varisys, experienced in bringing up the products, i believe. i dont want to restart conspiracy rumours, but all this really doesnt add up for me. am i this dumb?

nope just love the X1000 poster with "I Believe' at the bottom of it:)..oh and liked the old X-FILES show too;)

Trevor is a great guy to be heading up A-Eon and he is an active member in the community donating to bounties and always showing up at the Amiga shows so I've no doubt that the X1000 will be here :afro:


"i believe..." so now after more than a year i finally got what that "x" was all about. seems it is a thing to be believed and has so much relevance i the real world as the x-files, which is i think quite dumb, boring and repetitive series despite its cult status. but this is pretty much the same about other cults.

@motrucker: for now even hardcore os4 fans start to hesitate. i ve heard of none that has declared immediate interest. the same or worse will happen to x1k if it ever emerges. so chances are tiny.

hrmm.. on second thought discounts are not usually likely as long as there is demand, but on redundant goods. so maybe there is hope after all.

you hope for an emulator of something that doesnt yet exist? perhaps there is first amigaone, pegasos, and samantha emulator to write?
