Whats happening at eyetech?
« on: January 12, 2005, 04:41:55 PM »
Hi again!

Now when Eyetech are finished developing the u-a1, what will they concentrate on now? Will there be a new better Amiga motherboard or is this A1 that are shipping right now the end of Amiga computers? I really hope not! What do you think?

Eyetech don't develop the µA1, they simply sell it.

@KennyR
MicroA1s are developed by mai with the help of Eyetech and Adam (i don't remember the surname).

XC is not coming in the near future imho... happy to be wrong on this.

I wonder how Eyetech are going to handle Apple's mini mac, considering it is essencially the same piece of kit, but with a better GFX card and faster CPU against that of the micro A1 or whatever its called this week...

@the_leander:

Fortunately, micro A1 has OS4.0 as it's main OS, so it should have no trouble outselling the miniMac.

Well, it all depends which OS you want to run on your hardware. If you want Amiga OS4.0, then you have to buy an A1. It's pretty simple.
If miniMac could somehow run OS4.0 (assuming that Hyperion were going to port their OS to Mac hardware) then, and only then would Eyetech be in serious trouble all around.

I think that as long as OS4.0 is tied to A1 hardware, Eyetech shouldn't worry.

Shouldn't worry? How many do you think they are selling?

I tell you, it is a dwindling return.

The thing with the microA1 was the fact that it was a very cheep (by PPC standards) mini itx system, great for industrial, modding, appliance use etc. Had appeal to linux fans for many of the above reasons. With the arival of the mini mac, I see a massive loss potential of potential market space for the microA1 for the reasons I outlined in my earlier post...

All that work.. Sickening really. :-(
