[Helgis75]

Does anybody know what have been changed and improved to the A1XE-motherboards, and why excatly the delay until February, as many are stating? Could anybody tells me this?

[Helgis75]

Come on folks. Send in the information you know about all this..:-). Don't be shy..:-)

In October-November last year, Eyetech made an annoucement that A1XE got into mass-production, and that some minor but nice changes had been done..like removing the ARM-slot, including audio codecs and bringing the audio sockets on the usual positions on the ATX I/O knockout..That's far as i know, for sure..

02/January/2003 AmigaOne XE systems experience further delay.
We are assured by Eyetech that all issues with the release of the XE boards are resolved, and as a result, we have an improved board! Eyetech has only stated that will be shipping the XE boards by the end of January 2003. This means with building & testing of the equipment, we expect to be able to ship AmigaOne systems by approximately February 17, 2003. All customers with AmigaOne orders that receive AmigaOne systems prior to AmigaOS4 being released will automatically be put on the AmigaOne Developers Mailinglist.  

Know we know the reason for the delay, and it's actually a very good one! :-D  Thank you Eric!!!

Sorry about that, but i was just so happy to read why the A1XE is delayed, and this is certainly because of great changes:-) Great work, Eyetech!!! :-)  :-D

I agree, but it could be that Eyetech was just too busying completing the production of the XE, so they only sent mail to the dealers...I guess that's the answer...Don't worry...:-)

Excatly, that IS a good point! Hopefully, they may update it soon...Sending mail to the dealers is simply not enough...Why do you think we have been confused about the delays? We can thank Eric for giving the link from Extreme Amiga about this delay...Very important news....
