Hi,

I'm returning to the Amiga scene after a few years, and I've read a little about the A1, but I don't have a LOT of time to surf the web lately like I used to.

What is the purpose of the A1? Is it in ANY way related to the classic Amiga?

Who is developing it?

What software/hardware does it already support?

Is it just a Power PC Linux box, or will it run Classic Amiga OS's? (3.1, 3.5, 3.9?) or is it just slated to run 4.0? (Or only a specific flavor of Linux? Will it run Red Hat etc?)

What kind of hardware expansions are supported on it?

If it's just a fairly standard PPC board, why doesn't it run something faster than a 900mhz G4?

Thanks in advance for your time,
Jack

Be sure to also check out the Pegasos II system. We are much more compatable and faster then the A1 is. The Pegasos DOES NOT run OS4 but it runs MorphOS. MorphOS will wun just about any system friendly classic app as well as apps made for it. OS4 applications dont run on it, but many of the apps released are also released for MorphOS. The hardware is faster and more modern. We are close to 1/2 the price too. Go to www.morphzone.org for an amiga.org like site all about the pegasos and check out www.pegasosppc.com for the home page of the hardware and links to resellers.

:-o I guess it being based on AmigaOS sources mean nothing to you! :-o

Okay ans AROS, MorphOS and other clones are "based" on it as well. Whats the point?

@Framiga: How did i know you would have to jump in. I meant "WE" as in "Pegasos Users" I wanted to make sure he knew of it and that the A1 isnt the only choice.
