Merlancia Industries is taking advanced reservations for their new Amiga MCC 1000 or 1200 computers. There is no mention about payment in this press-release.

"Starting September 4th 2003: If you would like to be one of the first to purchase a Merlancia Amiga MCC 1000 or 1200 Series Computer upon their release in a few weeks ..."

Read the press-release ...

Still no mention of an OS, or deatils about what one would buy .....


Seems like someone is trying to build  an address-archive
only containing those who are easiely ......


 :-P
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

Your email must come from a legitimate ISP address, not from a "throwaway" address such as Hotmail.com or Yahoo.com.

What BS..

I know a lot of people who have those as a main address :roll:

upon their release in a few weeks


Suggests to me it could be after September by the time they are released.

IMO I don't know why any Amigan would want one of these instead of a Peg or A1.  I can only think that they will sell them to people who don't mind paying extra for a nice case.

I woke up in the bizzaro world.

I guess it's wait and see since RC is being tight lipped abou the OS. I think it's pretty obvious it won't ship with AmigaOS or any of it's variants/clones though. I guess AI screwed the pooch when they licensed/sold the MMC. This will be labeled Amiga and probably run Windows and Linux. :lol:

-Edit-
RC: I got all the roms I need from another dealer. You snooze, you.....

I don“t see them implementing a native Amiga alike operating system on a pc alike system. The MCC1000 has a:

 "AMD Athlon XP Processor at 2Ghz or higher"

But further in their release they say:

"The MCC is ready to use right out of the box with a variety of specialized platforms available including a general use desktop, a multimedia/video composing station, and advanced servers"

So what does this mean?
Do they pre-install a few OS's for the users to play with, or they just install Win XP with UAE on it? :-D

I want a case like that :-) The interiors are still foggy, so I don't think I'd afford a cow for a pint of milk.

I think RC would be well advised to sell an empty standard ATX case version of the mmc. There may be a market for that, it is unique IMO.

I agree. I'd like one of them for my A1 or Pegasos.

Well, maybe this is the Pegasos II :) wich Genesi makes? :) So, maybe its MorphOS with these new Amigas. Other thing, is that RC told AmigaWorld that they itend to make "new" Amiga keyboards.

Well, hehe.. Maybe this will be Pegasos II with AmigaOS4 support? :)

We will see, hehe :)
I love and respect people which care! And not those with
a heart made of stone.
