Hi Bodie_CI5

I'll be happy to clarify if you only told me what you find unclear.
IOW, what are YOU babbling on about?

[Bodie_CI5]

Yeah how's it going Seehund? :-)

I couldn't follow on with what you were saying in your previous post, like too technical for me sorta thing. Couldn't derive at a satisfactory conclusion, to me it seemed that your post was a little mixed up. By that, I don't mean having a go at you, but you lost me.

Ah, I guess it's just my non-native English and my run-on sentences that's messing things up again.

Anyway, there were no news in my post...

Basically, Argo said that Eyetech had shown an "AmigaOne" prototype before, and that was a Teron board.

The only "AmigaOnes" shown in prototype stage were the Escena "AmigaOne 1200/4000" and this new mini-ITX board.

The current "AmigaOne SE" and "PX" were never shown or sold as prototypes. Whatever Teron model that's been available at any given time has been sold as an "AmigaOne" straight off.

Clearer now?

[Bodie_CI5]

Your English is fine, I just haven't heard of these Escena thingies.

Once upon a time (officially until Nov. 2001) Eyetech were planning to sell an "AmigaOne 1200/4000", a custom design by Escena. This was before they had seen Mai Logic's Teron and before Hyperion had taken over development of AmigaOS4.

Here's a photo of the prototype. The project never went anywhere beyond this. Escena couldn't come up with a suitable northbridge chip, and it was also revealed that Amiga Inc had forgotten to mention that they hadn't even started on AmigaOS4. The Escena AmigaOne project was cancelled. This is how AInc's "on schedule and rocking" status announcement came to live in infamy, together with fleecy's eyewitness report on how incredibly fast the inexistent AmigaOS4 was running on the inexistent AmigaOne 1200.
