Why I want an A-Eon X5000

@SACC-guy

i suspect there will be plenty of X5000s to play with this year at amiwest. i'm planning on bringing mine, for example. just got a new pelican 1690 to transport it in. depending on hyperion i might just bring my A1222 as well.

II can run today AmigaOS4.1 (thank you Amiga Forever) on my PC and it is really, really FAST (faster then X5000)

no. it's not faster. not even remotely close.

@kreciu

there's loads of software available for it. i mention some of the tools i use regularly over in this thread. and there are people investing in the operating system, hardware development, and application software. perhaps you might be able to make it out to amiwest this year? we can walk you through all sorts of things you might not be aware of.

but anyway -- this is getting off-topic.

So you've made up our minds for us, eh?
Hey, I don't even care about the OS4.1 part, and I still want one.

heh. i hear ya. my dream is someone coming to amiwest that has a beta build of MOS for the X5K. i really, really want to give it a spin on my system.

BTW. I would, possibly, maybe, kind of, sort of, remotely purchase "Sam440" type of motherboard for about $400. I could do it...

i think there are a bunch of people who feel the same way. i really hope hyperion and A-EON can get the A1222 out to market sooner rather than later; that's the sort of thing will help fill that gap. anyway -- these things aren't for everyone. the awesome thing about amiga is so much choice out there. if the X5000 and AOS4 doesn't float your boat, there's always AOS3 and 68K HW, emulation, AROS, etc....
