amiJoe1200

bis zu 143 mal schneller als ein original Amiga(TM) 1200
(errechnet nach Motorola Spezifikationen bei 333MHz)

Das ist die amiJoe...

- Die amiJoe 1200 ist die ideale CPU erweiterung um den Amiga(TM)
  1200 in das PowerPC(TM) Zeitalter zu versetzen.

Das leistet die amiJoe1200

Durch die Nutzung des leistungsstarken PPC750 (G3) Prozessors,
des Hochleistungs-Back-Side-Caches und der PCI Bridge wird der
Amiga(TM) 1200 zu einem modernen Computer. Durch die integrierte
68k Emulation bleiben aktuelle Amiga-Programme weiterhin nutzbar,
während PPC(TM) native Programme den vollen Geschwindigkeitsvorteil
nutzen können.

Die RAM-Erweiterung auf bis zu 512MB erfolgt mit den im
Laptop-Bereich üblichen PC66 SO-DIMMS.

Selbstverständlich verfügt die amiJoe 1200 über eine Echtzeituhr.

Aufrüsbare Systeme

- Amiga(TM) 1200 sowie Amiga(TM) 1200 Tower umbauten.

   läuft im Prozessorslot des A2000 (auch Towerumbauten)
   Technische Daten: G3 bis 466MHz und 768MByte PC100 sonst wie amiJoe1200

 - amiJoe3000/amiJoe4000
   läuft im Prozessorslot des A3000(T) oder im A4000(T) eingesetzt werden.
   Technische Daten: G3 bis 466MHz und 768MByte PC100 sonst wie amiJoe1200

Irrtümer und technische Änderungen vorbehalten.

• erhält Ihr Amiga den topaktuellsten Prozessor, den es je in einer Amiga-Erweiterung gegeben hat
• bietet Ihr Amiga eine Leistung wie kaum ein anderer aktueller Desktop-Computer heutzutage - Supercomputerleistung auf Ihrem Schreibtisch
• ist Ihr Amiga technologisch wieder vorne - mit leistungsstarker Hardware, Erweiterbarkeit, und Unterstützung durch hochmoderne Bestriebssysteme bei voller Amiga 3.x-Kompatibilität!

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
 If you spend much time on the Internet, you may not need this special
short issue. For those who haven't heard, as of today several news
sites such as ZDNet and CNET are reporting that Jim Collas has
resigned as President of Amiga. Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer Tom Schmidt has been promoted to take over.
 Here's a quote from the CNET story, written by Jim Davis:
"Collas,former senior vice president of global products for Gateway,
has left Amiga after less than nine months on the job, Gateway
spokesperson Brad Shaw confirmed. He is being replaced by Tom Schmidt,
who joined Amiga in April as its senior vice president and COO.

 Schmidt was formerly with AlliedSignal, a manufacturing and
technology concern in the market for aerospace products and services
and automotive products."

 Separately, other web sites indicate that Bill McEwen is out as
Amiga's contact to the press and users. This change apparently
happened Tuesday.
 It would seem we now know why the sudden change to quiet mode by
Amiga. The only good news in all of this is the reports we've seen all
indicate Amiga intends to continue with its existing plans. The
question here is - how close are those plans to what we all think they
are? We'll find out over time.
 "Amiga Update" will attempt to keep you informed about any other
changes at Amiga as we go forward. At this point, there's no
information available at Amiga's web site.

Hello All,

I regret to inform that Bill McEwen told me as of
Tuesday he will no longer be under contract at
Amiga.  Sigh.

I called him about some newsletter plans he had
in mind, only to receive yet another bit of
disappointing news.

Regards,
Fabian
