New, New Amiga hardware announced.

Mikey_C · 23 April 2007, 13:30

Its on Amiga.com too!

http://www.amiga.com/news/index.php?art=26

Add that, plus the announced SAM E440P board as well and now there are two possiblities. Although, to be fair, neither have been released just yet.

Zetr0 · 23 April 2007, 14:23

hmmm.... why the hell are they still drumming on the PPC route?

personally i tihnk for them its the only way they can maintain propriety hardware!!!!

bah... the amiga will come to naught with Bill "dont know what" McEwan and Fleec-you mossy at the helm of A.inc!

keropi · 23 April 2007, 14:28

what a joke... after all this bashing on a.org, and this announcement now... yeah right, come to www.keropi.amiga.gr and grab my ppc boards what will run amigaOS 6 !!!!
bah, I am tired of all this bogus news. Suppose they do release it, so what? we get a lame cpu, which will support old-tech video cards and worst of all, a fan-based OS that has nothing to offer against windows or linux....
except from fanboys, noone else will pay attention to it... the time for amiga is long gone unfortunatelly.

Im sceptical for now, this press release doesnt say anything about OS4.. Lets see

killergorilla · 23 April 2007, 14:52

Huzzah! Sign me up for 8 of each!

I love these news items, they get me all excited about Amiga coming back to the masses!

tootoid · 23 April 2007, 15:18

I'd seriously be interested in one of these but I know they'll find some way of boning it up.

Ultron · 23 April 2007, 15:31

Bwhahahahahahaha!Hihihihihihihiihihi!OHOHOHOHO hoOHO bwahahahah ahahah! ahahahahah1!!!!!!!!!!

killergorilla · 23 April 2007, 15:49

Don't laugh, this could secure a great future for Amiga!

"that will fully support the needs and desires of today’s Amiga user"

Apparently they have no idea what are our needs...

We don't want any more Amiga-like systems, no more Dizzy and Fred's home-made pr0n and we don't like anything with Amiga.inc on it.

turrican3 · 23 April 2007, 16:27

It seems that amiga inc did something after all

I take it you are using the "Royal" "We" when you type? Because last time I looked, there are plenty of people who want Amiga type systems as to the Amiga.inc part, heck, I know where you are coming from.

Anubis · 23 April 2007, 16:52

Just the same way as they know what "we" need.

I'm sure there always is going to be some people who will like 'Amiga type systems' but those never going to be in the number worth mentioning... (something like those scanline lovers)

Anubis · 23 April 2007, 16:53

Duplicate thread.

Close thread, ban user, ....

noooo, just send him Fred in visit.

Just two more weeks that's what you said ultron.
you were right

Mikey_C · 23 April 2007, 18:19

the low end board (Whatever that is) is priced at $500 usd, which at current exchange rates is about £250 ukp

Wonder what the spec will be.

keropi · 23 April 2007, 18:40

sooooooo..............
I fail to see the point on another platform, with limited-software-supported OS and nothing revolutionary to offer... the time when amiga and it's chipsets made a difference is long gone ...

Graham Humphrey · 23 April 2007, 18:51

So bloody what, eh?

And another thing:

I think it's called "speaking out of your arse"

Amiga Inc. are very good at it

ant512 · 23 April 2007, 20:25

What *I* want is a MiniMIG or Clone-A with a Compact Flash adaptor. All someone has to do to get my money is make them and sell them to me.
