Acube - new Minimig?
« on: August 18, 2013, 04:42:00 PM »
Acube are taunting "File No. 3" and it starts with an 'M'.

What could it be? New Minimig with AGA support?

M for MorphOS perhaps?

Oh yeah... they had shown MorphOS running on the Sam460 sometime ago.

Kinda doubt it will MOS as there seems to be a setback...

Yeah but ACube posted that cryptic clue a few months before Frank made those comments last week.

The teasing "File no. 3" now has some kind of schematic coming out of the envelope...

If file no. 1 is the AmigaOne 500, what is file no. 2?

Whatever file no. 3 is, its a small board.

So, no, i don't think they would be refering to MorphOS.

And I have heard that Acube isn't contributing to the MorphOS port for the SAM460 anyway.

Moana resurrected to counteract MorphOS on Macs perhaps?

I'd buy a copy if it were released.

You're not thinking here Nik.
No way would Acube want to promote that idea.
It would cost them sales.

Very true Jim.  One can dream though.  :)

Maybe it's just me but I'm getting bored of these build-up excitement slowly marketing campaigns.

When they reveal the actual product it is is normally met with a large dose of Meh.

If they've done something new then awesome, show us what it is already.

I like the way that Jens does it:

1) Come up with an idea
2) Build a 'working' prototype
3) Announce the thing with some pictures
4) Get some feedback and tweak the design
5) Release the sucker

:)

Nice Ports on AmiNet!

True, and Hyperion's business model for OS4 is highly questionable.
Expensive, low performing hardware that makes old Apple hardware look good.
I don't get it.

Although I must admit, if I had the disposable income I might consider an A-eon system.

If we do move to an alternate ISA, I hope its something with common, low cost hardware.
