The AmigaOne is NOT "just a Teron board"!

[AmiGR]

Samface, you know very well, that I'm in good terms
with people with a CLOSE relation to MAI... Want
another hint of how do I know it? Mind you, the
Terron boards were evaluated by those people
more than a year before Eyetech even learned about
MAI...

[AmiGR]

Successive Samfaced posts. I hinted about my source, not that Samface didn't know it already...
I could ask MAI themselves as well...

AmiGR:
"The Terron CX board could use 4x PCI and AGP at
the same time, but: The AGP port would fall down
to the speed of the card in the 4th slot, so forget
AGP 2x, it would be either 1x (66mhz) or even less
(33mhz). "

Is that the old TeronCX again?
The TeronCX presented at MAI web pages early this year could not use both AGP and PCI4 at the same time. And that's according to the pdf at MAI web site at that time.

At the same time Eyetech had current specs already at their web pages.

(not going to bother with this subject ever again)

Oh please, you don't even know how to spell their product name correctly. "Terron"? LOL!

Right on! Eyetech's prices are a total rip...they didn't design anything, they're just profiting on cheap hardware and calling it 'special for the A-1'...I don't care what they sell and call A1, I just wish they'd all be a bit more straightforward and drop the Capn' AmeriCo attitude

Spot on, Eyetech think by saying something works on a Amiga gives then the right to increase the price where they are making something crazy like 900% profit on various standard hardware which is DISGUSTING, and what more is disgusting the main die hards think Eyetech is the best thing since sliced bread and are worthy of amigans support,

The sooner Eyetech shut down or hopefully go bust the better, the amiga users do not need a shower of ####e 2 bit mickey mouse company like them GREEDY RIP OFFS on the scene,

I will not and never have supported Eyetech and never will, the quicker people stop supporting CROOKS the quicker they will DIE OFF.

Rant over

That was a limitation of the Softex BIOS.

I misspelt it a*****e...

I misspelt it a*****e...

At several occasions...

[AmiGR]

So? I don't run around ann telling people that bplan's
product is called Pegasos and not Pegasus or
PegasOS... I think that you did that mistake some times, but I'm not sure...

No, I don't. What's the people you are in good terms with? I'm asking because I really don't know. I also don't know why you claim that I would know this as it is obviously wrong.

[samface]

Don't accuse people of things when you're not even sure. I have no recallection of that myself and even if I would have done such a thing, was that a repeated mistake? There is a word for what you're doing here and that is "slander".

[AmiGR]

Yes, set your brain to thinking mode, and you'll
figure it out...

[samface]

Ahaaaaa! You're Alkis, I see.

Well, now I know what you *claim* your sources of beeing.

Why would anyone *want* to piracy the OS if it's bundled with the hardware?

it will find it's way onto the internet...and get pirated by those who bought much cheaper TeronCX's direct from the maker MIA.
They want it because it's cheaper.

it's about removing the need for it through making it a part of the hardware purchase.

If I buy a cheap TeronCX now I might want MorphOS or AOS on it ? now wouldnt i?

Bundleing is one thing.... but binding is another... they dont bundle AOS+A1 they bind them....through the firmware... granted people will no doubt steal AOS anyway...due to the fact they dont want to support A.inc/etc and pay their 'amiga fees' ....but there is reason to steal AOS for some and 'binding' not bundleing wont stop it...

Dell bundles windows with it's PC... Eyetech Bind's AOS to their A1...

Okay, you tell me how much a competing motherboard + equivalent CPU goes for!  According to your claim that eyetech inflates their price tag by 900% I should be able to find a TeronCX + CPU for about $50 or less.  Somehow I get the hint that your entire post is nothing but malakie-es!  Ask AmiGR what that means!

in case you think my arguments are incorrect,

you threw logic out the window long ago when you simply say 'it came from bill and he cant be a liar' ... by quoting him on ET forums...etc... thats pure unadulturated zealot propoganda...
