http://hdrlab.org.nz/ is his webpage.  He's writing the Radeon HD series drivers for AOS 4 as you can see from there.  Do you think he is doing this on an unofficial capacity or something?


I know his site, I've donated to this cause. Hans doesn't have an AmigaOne X1000. If he did this in an official capacity, I would expect him to have a developer machine like Rouge does.

>>Sorry SAM users, but your hardware is Shi'ite compared with this. I really think they will drop the SAM line altogether or else make it much cheaper.... BYE-BYE Acube, nobody likes your cruddy hardware! I will probably have to sell my blood on the black market or something to foot this bill....


What a crap thing to say...remember that IF one day you'll be playing with OS4.X on the X1000 it will also be thanks to us who supported OS4.1 and ACube by buying, as you say, their shiite hardware. You should be thanking us for believing in Hyperion and ACube and for shelling out lots of money so the dream would carry on.

We paved the way by buying Hyperion's OS and supported hardware.

Go and meditate...

The appear to have a niche they're going for, hobbyists who want something different, as far as I can see...


That would be the existing fanbase then...

I will be the first to say the last 10 years have left me with a pretty cynical view, but even so my reaction is essentially "meh..."

It's not a generalist computer, the vast majority of people in the world would do much better with a PC.  Let's face it most people just want to read email, watch videos and do social networking.  They can get this far better and cheaper with a PC.  

But with the ubiquity of computers nowadays, there are a lot more hobbyists than you'd think, people who'd plunk down some cash for them just to play with it.  But it's price dependent, exceed USDollars 1000 for a complete system and you're sunk.  

But again we don't know what the CPU is, that's the missing information that can tell us wether this is mid or low range for a computer in 2010...

No that was your remark.  A Pedant is someone who is obsessed with small un-important details and bringing them to other people attention.

Okay, maybe I should have worded my post differently. But to speculate that A-Cube is involved, when they've said they're not involved is close to calling them liars. It's not okay in my book unless one can show they've lied in the past or have proof that they lie today.

It's this ingoring certain things that's been said by A-EON and others that annoy me in this ongoing debate on the AmigaOne X1000. It's not you spesifically JJ, it's other people too here.

Like the continuing insistance by many that this is a "tuned" POC/demo board. Why would we not accept A-EONs word that it's a new board designed to their specifications? Why isn't that good enough, to those of you who advocate that it's not, why not find the proof, and stop spreading FUD.

There are things that's strange in this. Why are we not focusing on that? Those issues are getting lost in the noise over less issues IMHO.

Like, why can't we get a clear picture of the case?
Why can't we get a high resolution of the motherboard?
Why does the wesite look like its designed by amateurs from 1994?
Why would the "higher upper ups" keep the CPU secret?
What OS updates follows the new motherboard?
Will there be a Radeon driver?
What other drivers will come with the OS?

Lots of questions still, but instead we pick and pick on things that for the most part have been answered.

Sigh. Perhaps I'm a pedant...

Allow me to speculate.

Like, why can't we get a clear picture of the case?
A: It doesn't exist (yet), or the haven't recieved a tooling sample, or they're just too busy.

Why can't we get a high resolution of the motherboard?
A: They obvisously don't have their own board in hand or time to shoot pictures.

Why does the wesite look like its designed by amateurs from 1994?
A: Becuase it's a grage shop or small business and when it comes to web design you get what you pay for.

Why would the "higher upper ups" keep the CPU secret?
A: Becuase they don't have an offical supplier yet, or the deal sin't official yet.

What OS updates follows the new motherboard?
A: Slow updates as witnessed by the previous pace of updates.

Will there be a Radeon driver?
A: Eventually I suppose...

What other drivers will come with the OS?
A: Ideally all of them but with previous experience as a reference it may fall on the shoulders of the hobbyist to fill in the gaps for some drivers.

Bill...you were a value to the community...if possible, forget the past, move on, look for a brighter future!

Too many hold onto grudges of the past that really make no sense anymore.

Regarding UPDATES...Also the time to strike is now while the iron is hot. If you launch a webiste for a product then don't follow up with timely uodates you lose the interest of customers.

Holy Deja VU!!!...LOL...to quote from the new Battlestar Galactica...
