While the X1000 is currently vapourware, it is undeniably the highest performing PPC machine announced to date that is produced for an Amigalike OS, one which could blow an eMac sky-high, even my PMac G4 1.5 ghz is dwarved to it. Therefore, I say that the MorphOS team should:
Recognize that this is a potential opportunity for Porting and new hardware, BUT they should not invest in it until it is either:
Withdrawn
Released and is a success
Released and a bomb
If it sells 1000 units, thats a success for our small community, in fact, considering we have a community of ~ 100k people, 1k units is one hundredth of our size, and can be a success on our scale. What would be nice is if someone released a e400 based PPC unit (Genesi?) that would cost $200, that would be well worth my money. An X1000 will take me a LONG time to save for.
My Macs:
Powerbook G4 ALU 1.5GHZ 15" 1.5GB OSX.5.8
Powermac G4 MDD 1.5GHZ OSX.5.8 MOS2.7
Want a part for a Mac? Let me know, I'll see what I can do.
Amithlon is amazing, questions and help I can provide.
