I am curious about what the complete list of features are and what cross platform software and OS compatibilities are.
There's a rather comprehensive list of AmigaOS 4 features
here.
Cross platform? In brief, you should be able to run all old "systemfriendly" AmigaOS software that's not dependent on Amiga hardware. This is a PowerPC (PPC) OS, but 68k emulation will be built in. I don't remember everything in that feature list now, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't CrossDOS-like functionality (reading different filesystems) included.
Looking at the picture that Software Hut has of the Motherboard I see what appears to be four PCI slots and an AGP slot. I see no other slots to accommodate Amiga Zorro cards. That being the case , other than using a 68XXX processor how is this related to the Amiga?
In no way other than that some of these Teron motherboards are also sold under an "AmigaOne" trademark, and that AmigaOS 4 is under development to run on them. BTW, they don't use 68k CPUs.
The complete systems ... Do they come in a tower and if so what Power Supply do they have and do they come with a keyboard? It looks as though everything is pretty much standard PC stuff. Does it come with a floppy drive and if so what are it's compatibilities? Will it read older Amiga Floppies?
Different dealers offer different complete system configs. Everything is standard PC stuff if you feel at home with assembling things yourself.
To read Amiga floppies you'll need something like
this.
I guess what I really need to se is a complete list of all specifications as I know little or nothing of this machine so I can determine if it is worth buying and if so in what configuration. If there are links available to the manufacturer please include the URL's so I can look there.
