Hallo Leute,

wie ja in den News zu lesen war
AMIGA News - Terra Soft mit Teron Boards, will Terra Soft nun auch mit YellowDogLinux Druck machen.
Was ist aber mit Eyetech? Schaut Euch folgende Bilder an und vergleicht einmal:

AmigaONE Mainboard "von" Eyetech:

Boxer T G3 "von" Terra Soft:

MAI Logic Evaluation Mainboard:

Mmmmh. Und von wem ist das Board denn nun wirklich?

Wie soll denn der Bufix für den Articia S beim AmigaONE aussehen (soll angeblich schon drin sein), wenn folgende Ansicht den Bugfix von BPLAN zeigt:

Hi!

Oh, da hast Du wohl einiges verpasst, hm?

Das Board ist von MAI und wird von Eytech sowei TerraSoft vertrieben.

Eyetech hat eine AMIGA Lizensierung und darf das Board als einen AmigaONE verkaufen.

TerraSoft hat keine Lizenz und verkloppt das Board an LinuxPPC User...

Und MAI verdient immer ;-)

Übrigens:

Das habe ich gerade in der FAQ von Eyetech gefunden:

Is the AmigaOneG3-SE the same as the MAI Teron Cx?
No. During the period leading up to the OS4 development agreement being signed we evaluated the Articia S northbridge chip for possible use in a redesigned AmigaOne. We concluded that it was the most cost-effective chip for the design and proceeded to draw up some new specifications for an uprated, more cost-effectively engineered AmigaOne, the AmigaOneG3-SE. Clearly using the Articia S instead of Escena's custom northbridge design meant that both the schematic design and the PCB layout would be entirely new. MAI logic are a chipset manufacturer, not a PPC motherboard manufacturer, but they had commissioned a low volume, high cost evaluation board, the Teron Cx, to help sell their chipsets. The Teron Cx was never designed to, or intended to, go into volume production. We therefore asked them if they could recommend a design company who was familiar with using the Articia S in PPC motherboard design. They recommended the same (Far Eastern) company that designed their Teron Cx evaluation board.

The new Eyetech AmigaOne design obviously shares a lot of commonality with the Teron Cx board, but more than a cursory glance at the specifications (ATA speed, integrated ethernet, custom firmware, number of active PCI/AGP slots etc) - and the price - of both boards should be enough to convince most people that they really are different designs.

Naja.....
