gimme gimme gimme!!!!!
efike will only sell well if it has MOS!

[Andeda]

Hmm.. i think that i still wait and see what A.inc got to offer..  :roll:

Great news. I'm looking forward to playing with MorphOS again. It will be interesting to see how far things have progressed since I sold my Pegasos. (1.3 days IIRC.)

After all these years of flying the "red flag", I can't believe that I'm (most probably) going to end up running MorphOS on my Efika before getting a chance to run OS4.

What do you mean? You've had a chance, Mr. Flying The Red Flag.

Really?  When exactly was that?  Was it when I pre-ordered the AmigaOne XE only to eventually cancel my order when it was delayed and Alan stated that only developers should order an earlybird due to the limited production run?

What is when limited numbers of the Micro-A1 shipped with a still beta OS4?

No, by then I was waiting for a mass produced motherboard with a final release of OS4.  Well, Mr. Rant From The Sidelines, the OS is here, but where's the fricking hardware?  I'll tell you where the hardware is, it's at Freescale and it's been there for months.

If anybody has any questions about what the Efika is capable of then perhaps this link will help:

http://www.powerdeveloper.org/efika_demo.php

There's an interesting video presentation covering the functionality of the board, possible configurations and possible (and existing) operating systems.

It's certainly worth a visit.

Well I can only hope that this will finaly kill the a-inc imposters.  

Will the real amiga please stand up!

if MOS 2.0 runs on it, I'll buy it.    I dont care what 2.0 vs. 1.5 brings as long as it runs on the EFIKA.   No more linux mobos.. I have too many of those.

Heh. A couple of Genesi's friends have been posting about Efika at this price in various forums for a long time. It finally happened, that's pretty cool. Guess I'll have to follow through pretty soon and buy one, as I said I would if this price ever actually became real. At least this has finally reached a point where I can consider it as an impulse buy item and not feel too bad if I end up not using it. Hopefully MorphOS ships for the thing so I can see it, the CSPPC MorphOS seemed pretty limited and useless in comparison to the Peg version and I never bothered with it.

[XDelusion]

Seems I don't have to wait on a New Amiga anymore. Price is right, OS sounds good, can't wait to get paid so I can order one!

[CodeSmith]

@billt

Yep.  As far as I'm concerned it's a race between the MorphOS team and the AmigaInc/Hyperion lawyers :-)  Whoever finishes first gets my dough.

[TheMagicM]

@billt:

I wouldnt mind having one but after thinkin about it, I dont need a linux box.. I have a duo core linux box.. I've regretted getting rid of my Peg I because nothing since then has been able to run MOS.  :- |    

[billt]

I'm not worried about any race or who wins. If ACK's high-end board ships, I'll probably buy that, regardless of who is first or whatever. I don't even know what I'd use an Efika for, but for $99 I don't need to care. Now, where do I get an IDE buffer to have both HD and CDROM on it?

[coldfish]

If only the A1 had shipped at this price...

I never used PowerUP MOS, but what is different to the Peg version so that it is useless for you. If you mean the slowdown after a time - just get registered. :-?

Hopefully the registration server is up... :-)
