Amiga One X 1000 and Xena/Xorro

[Megamig]

People do have the point.. I don't believe Commodore sold the Amiga 1200 with a 'Clock port' as one of it's main features. It was a bonus and it turned out to be useful for many hardware developers. Yes Xena (blah blah blah) could be useful in future but why advertise it as a main feature when it is useless (at the moment and possibly into the future!)

I'm sick of everyone dissing the X1000 for having it's supposed useless xcore/zena chip... At least Trevor has tried to do something interesting...

I can add glitter to my Amiga if I want to make it interesting. The fact is that every bit of nonsense wastes R&D time that could be better spent in refining other aspects of the X1000 system.

If don't like it, do something about it.

I would starting by removing all references to the feature until it actually serves a purpose. Don't get me wrong I am sure there are many X1000 users but how many of them are actually using Xena/Xorro?

[Megamig]

Removing all refrences to a feature makes absolutely no sense. If people bitch about Xena/Xorro being undersupported, how would hiding the fact that the hardware "feature" is available? How would that help support for it?...

Well I'm confused! Is the CBM marketing department back in business?

Marketing a feature that has no real value on a high end machine (well is that what the X1000 was/is supposed to be) does not make sense. No amount of promotion or rubbishing of the Xena/Xorro interface is going to change the lack of support.

The best Trevor and co can do is to quietly remove the feature from  their advertising and move forward in selling the X1000 on it's strengths not weaknesses.
