OS4/MorphOS is ALL that counts for these boards.


I suppose your right sort of, but linux can be useful in some respects, namely Hardware testing before MOS/AOS is out.

I'm confused.

Hardly surprising, since you've just read a post by Shawn The Bus-Arch Troll.

No one else could be so stupid as to confuse Linux running KDE with a themed replacement shell for Windows.

Nice to see that MOS has its share of cretins to even up the score. (there are plenty on the AmigaOS4 side too)

Huh ? Remeber that it was a long time ago when you ordered your board,


Yes it was, but remember I *chose* not to get mine until the new firmware was completed. The same price will be honored when I get it real soon(for real this time).

Quote
and that you won't get an OS with it (Linux doesn't count).


Huh? Well as for the end user version, no. But that will not cost alot and I will get a discount:-D BTW Thendic has not promised free MOS to betatesters, only beta versions. Not much different IMO.

Quote
and the latest prices from are Eyetech are also 500$/Euro for the SE


Don't be surprised if this goes down some. Also all I see is this:

Fact: Eyetech sold bare A1 motherboards to 'betatesters/developers' for $450 with no end user OS.

Fact: Thendic are now claiming to sell bare Pegasos boards to betatesters/developers for $500 with no end user OS.

Fact:Eyetech is extremely late delivering remaining developer/end user boards.

Fact:Thendic are also late.

Fact:Pegasos boards are made at the DCE manufacturing plant.

Fact:A1 boards are made in the far east.

Fact: -edit-  ;-)

2. A free copy of the commercial release of MorphOS for PPC v1.0 when it is ready.


Also:
The boards are made by bPlan on bPlan's assembly line which is at DCE.

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

I never understood this. What's this suppose to mean? "Bplans assembly line at DCE".

I mean really...

"ABIT boards are made on ABIT's assembly line over at some OEM manufacturer whom you've never heard about..."

That's simple:
The line is owned by bPlan and they can use it whenever they
want to. Mr Dellert is housing it (for free I guess) and can
use it at other times (maybe he has to pay for it).

So DCE didn't need to invest $$$$ in those machines (look
Andre I've  learned it  :-P ) and bPlan don't have to buy or
rent a room for it.

Electro wisely typed:

LOL


Awe come on now Electro... no more picking on Shawn and his many facited dillusions.  That post is funny as all hell though.

That reminds me, I now own the copyright to the word "the" so you can no longer use "the" without paying me heavy royalties...  :-D Any company who uses "The" for any of their products will be sued.

I like this slogan - if only because it makes "I Am Amiga Club" sound less lame in comparison. :-D

By the way, spot the error in logic. How can you go back to the future? Even if bPlan have a time machine (still waiting for the Thendic announcement on that one), going back to the future isn't possible since it would be the present when you got there. :-)

I suddenly feel vulnerable to fire...

@Kronos

Wasn't it the assembly line that used to belong to P5?

Thought DCE _bought_ it along with the rights to diffrent P5 hardware designs?

Now it's suddenly owned by ex- P5 people again... I'm confused :-)

Oh yes, it's burned into my memory like acid. ;-) Amiga users, as a community, have had to put up with the lamest slogans humanity can devise. Some make this bPlan one look like a work of original genius in comparison. Remember "Keep the Momentum Going?" Aaaargh! :-o

You mean an all-out riot on the streets of Frankfurt?

That would bring some high-profile publicity, if it wasn't for the fact that there would most likely be less than a hundred participants...

I always speculated that transaction was just to shelter the equipment from creditors.
