PC-Magazin Reports on Amiga
PC-Magazin [refers to German edition -dm] reports in its January, 2003 issue on page 15 under the heading New AmigaOne Platform - OS4 Will be Delivered Afterwards about the new AmigaOne.
In this article (which will only appear in the print magazine) it is reported that Eyetech wants to bring the AmigaOne to market before the end of 2002. It is further reported that two mainboards, the AmigaOne GS-SE and the AmigaOne XE will operate under Linux because Amiga OS4 is not ready yet. Additionally it's explained that the boards are based on PPC G3 CPU, are fitted with PC133 SDRAM, work with the VIA-Southbridge 82C686B, but of all things only four USB-1.1 ports will be supported. It is thoroughly described that over two AGP, one 66-MHz-PCI and three 33-MHz-PCI cards may be inserted. Towards the end of the article the different CPUs and pricing are discussed, and in the article it is said to be unclear when Amiga OS4 will appear, at which point Eyetech suggests that the software could be delivered by the end of the year, or the beginning of 2003 at the latest.
A picture is shown in which part of a mainboard with a PowerPC CPU may be seen. (ps) (Translation: dm)
