Any news / announcement about the possible CPU for the future Eyetech / Amiga Inc boards?
Eyetech don't design hardware, not anything remotely approaching the complexity of a mobo/computer or related to the Terons/"AmigaOnes" anyway. Amiga Inc. has nothing at all to do with hardware.
AmigaOS will only get whatever Eyetech (or some hypothetical and improbable other new licensee) can redistribute. Even if there were personal computers with PPC970s today (instead of maybe a year from now), they'd be out of reach for AmigaOS until someone could/would license them and redistribute them with AOS and some hardware-license verification mechanism. Then porting AOS to them could start. And after that we'd only be allowed to buy them via this hypothetical licensed distributor.
Bill Buck babbling about using the 970 "with the Pegasos" in the future is nonsense. It would naturally require a completely new board design, or it'd be a waste of a perfectly fine CPU. Maybe he's referring to "Pegasos" as a complete product line.
