Eyetech: Status Update Concerning AmigaOne-XE
Alan Redhouse (Eyetech Group Ltd.) talked about the status of the AmigaOne-XE
on the AmigaOne mailing list (see title link). Here's a summary of the most important information related to that, from
Christoph Gutjahr.
More AmigaOne-XE computers and G4 modules have been produced than the number of preorders. The motherboards are currently
in Taiwan. When they get the okay from the testers these boards will be equipped with AmigaOne-ROMs and sent to Europe. Redhouse
goes on to say that these boards will leave the factory in the direction of Europe on the 24th of this month.
It takes about 4 days for the computers to reach Eyetech from Taiwan.
Eyetech themselves can then test about 40 to 50 boards daily, assign a serial number, and "put them in the mail."
The G4 modules for the AmigaOne-XE machines include a PPC processor of type 7451 (G4) at 800 MHz, 32 KB +32 KB L1
Cache, 256 KB L2 Cache and 2 MB 64/72 Bit L3 Cache.
Update: (26.07.2014, cg)
A complete copy of Alan Redhouse's mail (added since the Original has been moved elsewhere by Yahoogroups apparently):

Betreff: Re: [amigaone] Re: Situation of XE boards? - a couple more answers
In the final pre-launch stages of a project like this there is an awful lot
of work to be done, and that means that none of us here can spend as much
time as we would like reading and commenting on mailing lists and making
website updates. And a lot of the time we have allocated for that
unfortunately has to be spent defusing unfounded false allegations of one
sort or another. Speaking of websites some of the developers have put up a
new A1-linux site at sourceforge which is well worth a checkout at
http://amigaone-linux.sourceforge.net
Status update (Get the fire extinguishers ready!)
Enough A1-XE's and G4 modules (800MHz 7451 with 32+32k L1; 256 L2 & 2M
64/72bit L3) to more than satisfy all earlybird orders have already been
built and are currently in Tiawan waiting to ship. All these boards are
fitted with the new Articia chipset (date code 0103).
We received a number (more than several, less than lots) of these boards
three weeks ago, but only received the cpu modules early last week, and the
modified UBoot code (to initialise the 7451) last Thursday. After going
through our own tests all these initial boards/cpu's have now been shipped
by us to those volunteer developers (and Hyperion) who have existing
experience of running the A1-SE under linux. This is so that they can spend
a week or so making sure that the various PPC Linux distributions run well
on with the G4 cpu and that no further modifications to the initialisation
code in UBoot are required.
I am visiting the manufacturers in Tiawan next week (2 days travel/recovery
each way) so don't expect much more from me until the week after. We should
have had the green light from the A1-XE/g4 board users by then which in turn
means that we can give the green light to the factory to blow the final
ROM's and ship the boards by 24th. Shipment to us will take around 4 working
days, and we should be able to test, serial number, order process and
despatch around 40-50 boards/day.
First boards will go to the original - March last year :-( - developers who
have opted to wait for the A1-XE/G4, then to dealers and customers in
chronological order.
These are of course target dates, and cannot possibly be taken as a promise
or guarantee. All I can say is that we are as keen to have your money as you
are to spend it, and do not, and never have had any intention of
deliberately holding back shipments just to be awkward (as some people seem
to think). However we will not as of policy ship any product before we are
satisfied that it is fully functional - including an installable and
working operating system - other than to developers for testing purposes.
The AmigaOne and Teron series of motherboards are new technology in the
'unbundled' - ie non-mac/non-RS6000 - marketplace. That is why it has taken
some time - and a lot longer than any of the parties involved anticipated -
to get the A1 into your hands in a usable condition - albeit with Linux at
this stage.
I am sufficiently confident that the developers will be very impressed by
the new A1-XE/G4 that I'm sure that they will want to start posting their
findings here from early next week.
BTW I'm sure that many of you will have seen H-J Frieden's posting on
running SIN on a Duron 1200MHz vs an A1XE/G4@800MHz(no L3 cache), both under
Linux, both with software rendering. He got 2x the frame rate from the A1
than from the Duron, and that was without any use of the Altivec processor
in the A1. Imagine what it will be like with OS4.
Hope this helps
Alan

WWW-Browser: Path Version 1.0
Path-Amiga is an attempt to build a new Internet browser from the ground up. The project began in the second half of the
year 2001 (as amiga-news.de reported) and slowly it began to take
concrete form. With this version HTML support has been started, which accounts for the version leap to 1.0. The support is
still very primitive, so a reasonable websurfing experience is hardly possible. This situation will improve with each successive
release.
- Requirements:
Hardware:
An Amiga with a 68k processor or a computer which can emulate such.
Software:
Amiga OS 3.5 or higher
- Features:
- ReAction GUI
- Minimal HTML support
- Clipboard support
- Supports DOS data
- Supports HTTP 1.1
- Graphic buttons
- Selection windows for the changing of symbol text, colors, GUI.
- Graphic printing functions
- German and English localizations
- Protection against pipe security holes
- Known deficiencies:
- The HTML display still has some problems. Please be patient, it's the author's first try...
- When the author tested an earlier version of Path under Amithlon, it bogged down occasionally. But one Amithlon user
has reported that Path works correctly for him.
- When printing, instead of a background a very light gray tone appears. The author has no clue what is causing that.

Mai Logic Inc. earns "Ready for IBM Technology" Validation
FREMONT, CA. February 10, 2003. Mai Logic Incorporated, a
technology design house of integrated circuits/systems,
announced today that it has achieved "Ready For IBM Technology"
validation for its Articia S system controller and Teron CX
and Teron PX evaluation system boards for IBM's 750CXe and
750FX PowerPCTM processors based applications.
"MAI Logic has successfully developed optimized supporting
devices and reference designs for PowerPCTM microprocessor
application platforms which have passed a rigorous PowerPCTM compatibility validation testing process by IBM Microelectronics
labs," said Lisa Su, Director of PowerPCTM and emerging products,
IBM Microelectronics. "Solutions like MAI's 'Ready for IBM
Technology' chipset and evaluation systems give developers more
ways to enhance their applications, resulting in improved time
to market, more cost effective designs, and improved performance
products by our OEM customers."
"We at MAI are very excited about this latest achievement," said
Jason Hou, CEO of Mai Logic, Inc. "We will continue working
closely with IBM to better our product designs and development
following IBM's PowerPCTM processor roadmap. By leveraging the
strong ties we have with our manufacturing partners in Taiwan
and the close relationship with the leading developers worldwide,
MAI intends to deliver the most cost-effective, highest-quality
PowerPCTM offerings to the traditional PowerPCTM market place
and expanding it into new applications presently not in the
PowerPCTM application domain. This validation will further enable
IBM's and MAI's customers to accelerated time to market coupled
with significantly reduced resource deployment and management
costs."
Articia S
Articia S is the first in the Articia family of chipsets
designed with the revolutionary "Bus-Centric" methodology
to achieve a more balanced and efficient architecture serving
both CPU and peripheral bus requirements. Articia S can
support single- or dual-processors at 133MHz CPU bus speed.
It is also the first commercialized system controller to
provide AGP support for RISC processor based systems.
Next-generation Articia Sa and Articia P will soon be
available. For product details, please visit: http://www.mai.com.
Teron
Teron CX and Teron PX evaluation systems are generic ATX
motherboards built with PowerPCTM processors. The former is
the first PowerPCTM processor based board with enhanced AGP
option and the latter equipped with a 300-pin MegArray
connector, provides easy configuration to a range of
development platforms driven by single-processor and
dual-processor CPU module cards (including the latest
PowerPCTM 750FX processor).
The "Ready for IBM Technology" program is developed to help
OEMs identify hardware or software of IBM Business Partners
that have received validation with IBM's products. Eligible
participants must complete the validation process to obtain
the approval and use of the "Ready for IBM Technology emblem
as well as to further distinguish their product listings in
the IBM Global Solutions Directory. For more information,
please go to: http://www-3.ibm.com/chips/products/wired/alliances/rfit.html.
