I would change this statement to:

Although, I expect that'll start in earnest as soon as the actual prices are released

:laughing:

That too

Given that something exciting is possibly about to happen in Amigaland, I think it might be time to resurrect this:

OMG! Nooo!! :eek:
 
What have you done?!
 
I don't think you realise the gravity of the situation. Just when I thought I had recovered from the mental scars. :rant:

Oh admit it, you were dancing around your bedroom in nothing but your pants, singing along into a hairbrush!

You did what to Doomy now?

[motorollin]

You did what to Doomy now?

That was my attempt to emulate the nomenclature of those bloody awful music TV channels. "Clubland TV" springs to mind as they invariably play it at the gym. It does the trick though, as imagining that I am running away from it usually pushes me further.

Yeah, the market is pretty brutal out there right now.  They need to be price competitive to have a chance.  But they know that as well as we do, so let's give them a chance.  Let's hope for a US$499 intro price complete with a 17 inch screen.  Another greater than US$500 motherboard would kill the enthusiasm for sure.

I do not think even $400 let alone $500 for CPU/Mobo only offer will yield a viable economic enviroment.  We've seen how little SAM440 generated in new sales, that is a clear indication that the market is not going to bear any unrealistic pricing of CPU/Mobos.

If you click over the cpu socket and write "XENON" the javescript popup will say "Does that seem likely?".
I tried ARM X86 G4 G5 powerpc POWERPC PPC and lot others but the only one that gets that message is XENON.

you know NOTHING about Sam440 sales, so please refrain to spread fud. Thanks

 Hey there! Remember when we said way back at the start that there were no hidden messages?
 Guess what? We lied.
 After all, where would the fun be in that?
 "Remember when computing was fun?"
 We do hope you're all having as much fun with this as we are.
 Isn't this a lot more fun than boring, dry press releases?
 Anyway, back to the yellow and black...

 To start, just look at the very first page,
 To follow, begin where Nemo entered into a rage.
 Then add to that what the Phoenicians used to see,
 The end was found, fricatively wound, in the branches of the very first tree.
 My whole was born in a place where a Celtic river was by Saxons, crossed,
 A new incarnation of a parallel, once thought lost.


 Nyaaah. Ain't I a stinker?

Here's some interesting text from the 6.html file:

"So let me just address a few rumours. No, you haven't seen this motherboard before. Yes, it's a desktop. No, the A-EON partners didn't design the Nemo board in their garages, and no it's not an evaluation board! Goodness. It was designed by a highly experienced design team to A-EON's specifications. Yes, it's high-end hardware. No, it doesn't have the number of cores you are thinking of. Whatever number you are thinking of. At least, not necessarily. No, we don't have a release date. Yes, it will be fairly soon. Yes, the software team does have functioning boards to work on already. Yes, it is the most powerful AmigaOS hardware ever. By a big margin. I did say high-end. Yes, it will come with a case. It's a computer we're making, not just a motherboard. Yes, Nemo IS just the start."

Hmm...

[skurk]

Fiiiiinally an update, I was wearing my F5 key out.

After reading the latest update, I got a "this is an Amiga version of the C-One" vibe.  A wild guess is PowerPC and re-programmable custom chipset in FPGA.

Oh, and remember to view the page source, there are a couple of clues there as well.  Could be a clue to some more info....

[AeroMan]

Gee.... I just got back to the forum after a huge new year hang over and I find 17 pages af new stuff. I always get amazed about how fast those topics grow.

I didn't read all the posts, so if I'm saying something that somebody did before, please excuse me.

I bet is a QorIQ. If you take a look at the source code, they test for a list of PPCs to give you the message "Ooooh you're so smart you'll cut yourself. But we still ain't telling. Sorry, we'd love to. Can't. It's quite a story, actually.."

It should be some kind of PPC, and the QorIQ is quite nice :-)

More hidden text.
 

Alive without breath,
 As cold as death.
 Never thirsty, ever drinking,
 All in mail, never clinking.

                       ...                            

 What? Oh... well yeah. Ok, so I couldn't think of anything.
 There was going to be a nice picture here called "hidden.png" but it got put up a day too soon and some clever clogs found it.

                       ...                            

 Nope, that's it. You've had your lot. It's not my fault someone already found it.

                       ...                            

 No, really. You can stop reading the source code now, we're done for today.

 Don't you people have homes to go to?

                       ...                            

 Seriously. We're done, see you tomorrow. Go out and have fun. Watch a movie!

 Mmmm, popcorn.

                       ...                            





 Hmm? Still here?

 Oh well, as we're talking about movies, have you seen Avatar yet? I haven't. Been looking forward to it a while, but things keep getting in the way.

 You know, things like this web site. It's not easy thinking up puzzles to keep you lot amused, you know!

 I was going to go yesterday. Had it all planned, trip to the cinema with my girlfriend. Unfortunately she wasn't feeling too well, so we had to cancel.

 I should give her a call, see how she's doing.

                       ...                            

 Ah, she's feeling much better. Looks like we're on for the cinema tomorrow. That's good.

                       ...                            











 Woah! You're still here? I went and got lunch, I thought you'd be gone by the time I got back.

 I have to admit I admire your persistence, but we really are done. No more puzzles. Come back tomorrow, I'll have something really meaty for you then, I promise.

                       ...                            

 Oooooh Okay, you've twisted my arm. I'll think up something quick for you to puzzle over.

                       ...                            

 Ok, here it comes. It's a good 'un...

 Psych! Ha ha! I was kidding.

                       ...                            

 Actually I was kidding about kidding. Here it is.

 An age from the page of the Book of Law,
 Shall come to know an Olympian foe;
 Greek strife (formerly) once in, now outside,
 A Lazarus snatched, to join the ride.

 Too vague? Too cryptic? Well it was off the cuff, you know. I've got to be careful what I reveal.

                       ...                            

 Okay, okay. You want something more solid? Hrm. I can't really say much here. So let me just address a few rumours. No, you haven't seen this motherboard before. Yes, it's a desktop. No, the A-EON partners didn't design the Nemo board in their garages, and no it's not an evaluation board! Goodness. It was designed by a highly experienced design team to A-EON's specifications. Yes, it's high-end hardware. No, it doesn't have the number of cores you are thinking of. Whatever number you are thinking of. At least, not necessarily. No, we don't have a release date. Yes, it will be fairly soon. Yes, the software team does have functioning boards to work on already. Yes, it is the most powerful AmigaOS hardware ever. By a big margin. I did say high-end. Yes, it will come with a case. It's a computer we're making, not just a motherboard. Yes, Nemo IS just the start.

                       ...                            

 What? What now? Not obscure enough?

 Sigh...

 Well people have been asking for some solid info. A joke can only go so far, and we will be revealing all we can currently reveal tomorrow.

 Anyway, what about that thing with the number of cores? Come on! That was pretty obscure.

 Look, just go back a page, look at the source there. Far more fun. Solve that charade riddle and you'll know a lot more about Xena.

 And with that, I am gone. Good luck, have fun!

Hyperion and Acube never contributed to the many vapourware products abound in Amiga land..

Until now. Which makes it all the more disappointing.

I get the impression it's a new Amiga. Which is what the AmigaOne, SAM or whatever etc. are. I don't see what the fuss is all about, people who want a new Amiga can already buy one.
