Remember folks
The Teron board as sold by Mai was over 2 Grand not sold cheaper as some people have erroneously
posted here.
If it wasn't for Eyetech Terrasoft wouldn't have a "Cheap" Linux board to sell.
( Uh my AmigaOne board cost me $550 delivered.  Not much more than the $500 + shipping  advertized
price by Terrasoft.  Not bad considering I have had my board since November and Terrasoft is not yet
shipping. )
The boards sold by Terrasoft will have the PPCboot ROM Developed by Hyperion.
which BTW is constantly being updated right now.
The main difference being that the Amigaone version will have Amiga OS Extensions in the ROM
You want to run Linux get the Terrasoft board.
You want to run AmigaOS get the AmigaOne simple really.

Most of the idiots crying about the So called Dongle have NO INTENTION OF EVER BUYING AN AMIGA ONE
WITH OR WITHOUT THE SO CALLED DONGLE!!
It is just an excuse to push people to Their side of the fence.
The Amigaone is no more or less dongled than the Pegasos board.

Yes Hyperion could try to develope for a hostile system
but not only would be hard, and costly, it would be dangerous.
The DMCA in the US would make such an attempt illegal
Just look at the current lawsuit Lexmark has launched against
Manufacturers of generic ink cartridges using the DCMA.

Most of what is posted here is shear lunacy.
Burying people in a mass Email is a sure way to make sure nothing gets done as they spend hours just
reading massive amounts of garbage in an attempt to find someone with an intelligent Email.
That plan must of been thought up by someone who wants to make sure nothing gets done.

Just a side note the MorphOS Public Developers list had about 50 posts for all of December.
The AmigaOS 4.0 List gets more than that in a Day.
Read what you want into that.
