I had an Amigaone G3 traded it in for a G4
No one ever mentioned not to post problems
In fact most problems have been made public knowledge on the A1 list and are discussed in detail in various forums.
certain things are of the oops nature you know the latest bios update failed to initialize the PAR: port. somebody mentioned it and the next rom update that was fixed but then someone recompiled debian and the floppy was disabled.
you know as one problem is fixed something else invariably pops up. when you have a number of people working on things somethings get fixed while breaking other things. Sometimes the smart thing is to sit back for a few days wait till it gets sorted out before jumping into the fray.
The AtriciaS bugs not to start a war. But any rational nonbiased person would say they are minor and fixable in software once you are aware of them. To prove my point Genesi manufactured several dozen more pegasos boards after Bill Buck cliamed to have tossed the rest of the AtriciaS chips out for being buggy. Marketing hype nothing more.
Ask any Pegasos or Amigaone owner about thier boards and they woulds tell you the same thing yes they work no they are not any more unstable than your typical PC or jazzed up Amiga. the stability is from the beta nature of the software not dire hardware failures
Overheating of the G4s is a common problem on the Amigaone because of the anemic Heatsink that was supplied by Eyetech My suggestion is rip it off and place a decent sized one on it. Get one designed for a Radeon or Gforce card it should plug right in just make sure you put the power plug in right.
EI read the docs. Some fans will short the 12V and the 3.3v lines if you are not careful.
better yet forget the plug on the board if you are not sure and get an adapter to plug it into the power supply
the only other major problem people had with the Pegasos and Amigaones are the fact that the AtriciaS is real finicky about the type of RAM it takes. Many Amigaone owner had problems with insability because of ram incompatibilities My suggestion buy the ram from your Amiga pegasos dealer might cost a few more dollars than your bargain ram from Super micro mega wharehouse. But it works.
