The AmigaOne may be the first new Amiga specific product in over six years. Running the newest new Amiga Digital Atmosphere (P), it signifies the initial step on the path to changing digital revolution. Specific at individuals who require high end and comprehensive functionality by having an enjoyable computing experience, it is made to be considered a perfect platform for the creation and use of digital content, whether that be for home customers, software designers, games gamers, artists, music artists, content producers, or companies. The photos are from the Mark II beta version, like the µ-A1-C & µ-A1-I version’s.
The Mai Logic Northbridge Nick
Specifications for that µ-A1
Both boards include cpu, 256MB memory, cpu cooler as well as on board graphics and seem, but exclude OS4 (-OEM or -PR as appropriate) which is the one other cost (pounds 100 or equivalent), compulsory purchase item. The revenue from OS4 goes straight to Hyperion to finance past and continuing growth and development of OS4. Additional A1XE-G4 boards available We anticipate getting a little batch of A1XE-G4 boards. Please be aware however, these new boards won’t be ‘Earlybird’ systems and OS4-OEM (or -PR as appropriate) is the one other cost item. µ-A1-C specs in outline The µ-A1-C is carefully in line with the specifications from the A1XE board, modified where right for the small-ITX form factor and also to get round various eccentricities that have appeared around the existing developer jobs.
It will likely be shipped having a 750Fx @800 MHz cpu module on the standard AmigaOne MegArray connector, along with a single SODIMM socket populated with 256MB. Graphics is going to be supplied by an onboard Radeon 7000 with 32MB memory. 6-funnel 5.1 multichannel audio is supplied with a CMI 8738 nick. The board has a single PCI slot that is able to take a -1, -2 or -3 slot riser card. This won’t be provided by us, (single slot risers should normally be provided together with the situation), but we are making the specifications open to organizations to allow them to produce, for instance, a riser with 2 PCI and 1 AGP (operating in PCI mode) slots. These should then be accessible directly using your local dealer. We’re only shipping G3 cpu modules using the board at this time, because of our prime energy use of generally (and economically) available G4 cpu’s, and also the resulting cooling problems once the board is mounted inside a small-ITX situation. It’s our intention to achieve the upgrade G4 cpu modules designed for this board using lower energy G4′s (such as the MPC7447 cpu) when these become offered at inexpensive price points in small amounts. µ-A1-I specs in outline The specs for that µ-A1-I is extremely comprehensive. We actually have attempted to incorporate as numerous aboard peripheral devices as practicable also including what we should feel are unparalleled expansion facilities such a concise design. The primary expansion slot is fully recorded and ‘open standard’ to ensure that niche hardware interface companies (eg Individual Computer systems) can produce and market a variety of add-ons – in true Amiga tradition. This expansion port continues to be made to be PCI-104 compatible, resulting in an array of various expansion cards already being offered off-the-shelf. The PCI 104 bus is really a ‘stacking’ bus, which enables several expansion card for use concurrently. These expansion boards lie parallel towards the primary board, simplifying the implementation of robust, reliable mechanical fixing – that is required for high reliability industrial programs.
On-board peripheral devices include USB, IEEE 1394 (firewire) ATA133 Gbit/100/10 ethernet 5.1 6-funnel multichannel audio SVGA, SVHS and composite video output and also the usual variety of legacy fittings (games, 2x serial, parallel). A number of these I/O functions are provided on headers, making interconnections on industrial systems (eg: a serial touchscreen controller) much simpler to implement. Additionally the single standard PCI slot will support a one to three slot expansion riser as using the µ-A1-C above. The board will even incorporate 256MB of on-board memory along with an expansion SODIMM socket, passive cpu cooling along with a CF (compact expensive) ‘hard drive’ slot. These functions together allows for completely solid-condition operation, required for our prime reliability necessary for many industrial programs.
