Is is an A1 competitor? Does it have AI approved apecs or is it only a 99% compatible A1 clone?

Smells a bit like Vapor. And the Specs of the Tundra bridge isnt really better then Articia. I wonder how they will manage to get a license. "AmigaONE" is exclusivly for Eyetech and AI dont even take money for a new license.

Nice page..but where is specification and price for this board ? or this is only a fake..

[Louis Dias]

well if you read the page, everything will be revealed at the Amiga show in the UK on the 24th.

Does this mean that the AmigaOne is dead and the Pegasos really won the AmigaMarket ?
Why is there no specs ?  :-?
that's too strange...

[TheMagicM]

strange indeed.

[VooDoo]

I taken this from AmigaWorld forum..topic (Troika Web site)

Mini-ITX
CPU: PPC 750
Northbridge: Tundra TSI107
Network: RTL 8110
Sound: CMI8738
USB: µPD720101
2 PCI-Slots
2 RAM-Slots


its cool!

I'm hoping the following:
1. This isn't fake
2. It's very inexpensive compared to the A1 or Peg
or
3. It runs more than OS4

To me, the most important thing to look for in hardware these days is versatility. The A1 is a huge ATX-sized board that only runs OS4 well. The Pegasos is a microATX board that runs MOS and most PPC Linuxes well. If this thing can run OS4 and Linux in a miniITX board, that'd be pretty darn cool. If it only runs OS4, a lower cost should reflect that, hopefully.

Still, I'm not holding my breath on this one. We've been duped many times before.

My top hardware purchase priority remains the Pegasos...

Hmm, since I couldnt get a license for A1 on the Pegasos I wonder how these people plan to or maybe even got it done? It sounds nice, but I would still rather see OS4 come to the Pegasos I and II first. That site is a joke, it has no onfo and is just a simple one page announcement.

@Acill

Did you ever get any kind of response for your efforts? And are you going to try again once OS4 is fully released?

[Nickman]

How can a page that says "this site will open xx date" be a joke ??

It's not open, offcource it doesn't have any info right now. ? Am i missing something.

Do you think http://www.morphos-team.net/ is also a joke ?

[klesterjr]

From what I gather reading the thread at AW.net, they've been working on this thing for about a year.  

It also looks like they DO have an OS4 license (plus the web site says that the board is for OS4).

I think the specs are fine -- similar to the A1 but with the "possibility" of a better Northbridge.

Have to wait and see, I guess.

Just because you aren't able to get license for A1 (That should be AOS) for the Pegasos, doesn't mean that nobody else shouldn't be able to get license for other hardware platform. As far as I know the Ariana board makers also had conversations with Amiga inc, but they refused since they didn't liked the terms. The could had it if they wanted to! With the Troika board makers this might be other case.

It sounds nice, but I would still rather see OS4 come to the Pegasos I and II first.

Are you working on this, or just want it anyway?

That site is a joke, it has no onfo and is just a simple one page announcement.

What about wait and see before posting negativism all around? I am sure if there was an announcement about a site with petition about port of AmigaOS 4 to the Pegasos, with just a simple one page announcement, you wouldn't have talked the same way.

 Sorry if this might cause flamewar but I can't stand the double standarts of some people.
