There are no bugs only claims.

How about tv cards?

My tv card works fine here.

Bug or not?

Don't know, I can't speak for PegI owners  . All I know is that I can view tv (yes, before you ask, with sound) on my A1 under Linux.

It indicates Articia used on Peg1 and A1 is buggy.

everything i read seems to make me lean towards a pegasos2 rather than an amigaone.

There is no working Linux for AmigaOne. They have been trying to implement working UDMA for A1/Linux for 2 years and counting.

but then i also read somewhere that MorphOS might be released for the Mac, in which case I might just be better off getting a cheap one of those.

It is not going to happen very soon but if you can wait an year or two...

The Via 686A is a UDMA66 part.
The Via 686B is a UDMA100 part.

686A was used in A1-SE dev boards, production board got 686B (SE and XE).

a smear campaign from Genesi

Genesi just told the truth.

When Mai and Eyetech hit their bug (which is not necessarily a 'bug' if Mai had it mentioned in the real spec sheets from the get-go)

Could be just easier replace that NB? Why should Eyetech rely on MAI btw?

Quote
Now, is this Mai's problem alone?

Dont forget TerraSoft.

...and it's hard to tell who's got what, especially when bouncing numbers around. Eyetech never took back the "dev" boards, right?

I don't know but there are probably only few A1-SE boards with 686A. I don't know further details but those were sold for early adopters etc.

On the one hand, if parties could've somehow got along on the "software" route (unpossible )

Impossible. Both parties hate each others. (This all started from PUP vs WUP war.)

Quote
maybe a mature patchset for 2.4 would've appeared quicker, however many hundred board-exchanges wouldn't have had to happen

Linux is not the only OS.

and who the heck knows what went on with OpenBSD, but, y'know, maybe.

This talk of the 90MB/s PegII sounds pretty specious now

It only suggest max transfer rate over ATA interface. Like benchmarking ethernet :-)
