Hopefully there will be a future model with Articia I and the PPC 970 processor. I don't see why not, but I don't think it'll come very soon.

These are interesting times we live in. New machines in progress, new AmigaOS in progress.. userbase slowly, slowly growing..  which is a success in itself.

Yeah, real shame

Anyway, this is all academic, 970 (G5) is not going to happen for some time.

Of course they did. When a shark bites off one foot, you don't dangle the other in the water later!

(Of course, unless you're in complete denial about losing the foot, and say it was caused by undocumented features of the sea and not by a shark. In which case you deserve the wheelchair.)

Yes, real shame if you chose Marvell that already delivers samples while others are still licencing
technology only.

Its a shame companies like Eyetech still brown tongue Mai when better companies are out there, but nothing new though as all the professional Amiga companies left years ago.

Can it all of you.  We need to stop acting like children here.

Trolling is bad enough, but taking the bait is worse.

I don't think anyone outside of Eyetech would know anything about the "AmigaTwo". It's probably far in the future, computer timewise. The have to get their MicroA1 out then there's the smaller A1 board they have talked about.
Best to ask Eyetech. It does look like there is alot of good possibilities out there for future board design. Only time will tell.

I think their main focus is ment to be getting a working OS for AmigaOne other  than Linux!

I doubt they would be even thinking about AmigaTwo before AmigaOne users have been satisfied.


On the other hand, if MAI can get the new chipset out bug free, it could possibly be used for the Pegasos III!!!! :-)

Nah, make that a :D



Bother. I'll just c&p from ANN:

But there IS a "G5 Amiga" already, since almost half a year. Apple sold 667,000 PowerMacs last year, of which a sizeable chunk are G5 PowerMacs.

Oh... We have to pretend that there still are "Amigas", so someone has to buy a license to sell them under a meaningless "Amiga" trademark, bundled with AmigaOS and a dongle, and then we would only be allowed to buy our hardware from such a dealer? Sorry. How could I ever forget that?! ;)


(clicky for Biggerer & Betterer)

Anyway, good news if anything will ever materialise from this PR. There can never be too many chipsets.

At least the AmigaOne costs less than a Terron board bought straight from MAI!

And how much would that be ? And no we ain't talking bout an evaluation-board
with full developer-support......

And even those get an hefty price-drop by just ordering 2-5 boards, and
an unknown price for 6 and more. A number even an smaller Amiga-dealer
could easily handle.

@Argo
Eyetech just resel what MAI has developed, so they are far from being the best
source for info on the upcoming boards.

But lets be realistic (or overly optimistic if we look at the delays round ArticiaS/P).
MAI has just licenced those techs, and it will take atleast a year to get a minimal
working chip. Another 6 months to get a eval-board ready and cure the chips from
it's major flaws (and those will be there as they have have 0 experience in fast busses
and DDR-interfaces). 6 months for developing a retail-ready version of said eval-board
and to get OS4.x working on it.

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
