Where could I get a microA1 ?

[Noster]

Hi,

Ok, I decided to sell one of my A3000T's and to purchase an AmigaOne - a microA1.
But my problem is: Noone seems to sell these boards :-(

Does anybody knows a shop (preferably in Europe) where I could order an AmigaOne microA1 motherboard? Or is Eyetech out of business and doesn't produces any boards any more?

Nowhere.  They aren't made any more, and production isn't likely to start ever again.  You might wait and see what's going to happen with this ACK board or maybe the Troika dealie.

Eyetech has gone dark, I dont know of anyone that has talked to them in quite awhile.  The microA1 cannot be produced anymore.  Both ACK and Troika claim to be working on a board for OS4, but have yet to explain whether they have an OS4 license etc.  Both of there designs at this time will be slower then the MicroA1.   Peg2, Efika and of course PPC Macs are plentiful, but Hyperion is apparently too scared of a company (AI) that has missed 19 court dates to port OS4 to either of them.  Thats the shape of things right now in the OS4 community, hopefully things will get better, honestly they can't get much worse.

Sadly there is no available hardware to run OS4, you will see people talk of "ACK and Troika" but treat that as nonsense until you can actual buy the product.

Hopefully alan redhouse has left the amiga market and took his dirty company with him.

> 19 court dates

Is this true or just a rumour/scam/hoax?

Where is the source?

Where are the documents about lawsuit, dates, location and the name of the judge?

> Hyperion Entertainment is a privately held Belgian/German company, founded in February of 1999.

Where is the location of the court?
Is it in US, German, or Belgium?

About AI and court??  Absolutely true.  Now I will point out that in private mail someone thinks that its 18 not 19, but fundamentally its true.  A large number of lawsuits have been filed against Amiga Inc, it has not shown up for any of them until the final judgement time in the Thendic vs AI suit.  The have lost lawsuits to at least two former employees Bolten Peck and Matt Fontenot (with several others waiting in the wings), there realtor sued and won twice, the state of Washington sued and won for taxes, a shipping company, a phone company, Genesi, all of these and more are part of the public record.   This has been discussed to death for years, why is it all new to you??

I don't think it's fair to call Eyetech a dirty company.  I always had excellent service from them whenever I bought Amiga hardware from them.

They were just totally out of their depth - seeing themselves as the saviour of 'The Amiga' when in reality Eyetech was just a (small) computer shop in Yorkshire.

Anyway, I think it's most likely that Eyetech has now left the Amiga market.  They did start trying to sell PC hardware a few years ago but with competition like Aria and Scan in the UK that was a dead end too (it's a bit hard to compete when your prices are double everyone elses).

Hopefully they'll be able to find another niche market to sustain them since the Amiga one died.

Your best bet for microA1 is to find second hand, but these will be sold mostly when new/better A1 models arrive.

I think it is fair, redhouse is reponsible for faulty hardware and not providing a warranty service on sold boards. I call that dirty and dishonest.

eyetech have only got away with it because they are an amiga related company, if this was any other market redhouse would have been hung out to dry years ago.

@ Noster

Ask Toaks on AW.net he posted some days ago that a dealer has one or two boards left. Here in italy we sold all the boards the day they arrive! I hope torika or ack boards come out soon.

A micro is very nice machine, you will enjoy it (if you find it!)

If you don't find a Micro, save for a Ack or Troika, there will be also high end models later. Don't buy an A1 SE or a classic PPC like CyberStorm or Blizzard.


@ Savan

Thanks to Eyetech we have OS4, thanks to Eyetech i'm posting this from a A1XE 1Ghz and it is my favorite computer ever and i have 6 computers at home, linux box, mac and pcs. I agree, he did some big errors, but after all we have something thanks to him... and dma is fixable (for free in some country) and works ok, sound onboard works fine.... and go on.

[The_Editor]

I believe Sven Harvey has ONE A1-XE G4 left.

It's a complete machine he's selling though.

There is no dealer who has any new boards left. The only used one you can buy from a dealer is this one http://www.stellardreams.co.uk/showitem.php?id=35 (for only 1.100 Pounds ):lol: This myth of A1s hiding somewhere is really persisting.

They said they will consider it based on the sales. They did not say that there will be other models. Nobody even knows if the ACK/Troika will arrive, so it's not wise to already mention their successors.

Thanks to Hyperion, we will have OS4. Wow, the A1 that Eyetech sold to you is actually working? Must be a great company then, it doesn't matter not having any warranty for highly overpriced hardware.  :lol:

@AmiDude:

That page was last updated 31 October 2004. Computer City rarely has something in stock which they put on their website.

[AmiDude]

Email him and ask about if he's got it in stock or not.
You'll never know... :roll:
