Any problems?
Does Linux support all the chips in these motherboards?
I heard that the northbrigde which is used in the Amiga-One
and Pegasos has a bug which makes it loose data if you copy a lot.
As far as I know Bplan is going to take back and replace
all Pegasos sold so far.
Can anybody verify this info?
I can only say that the AmigaOne boards sold by Eyetech has an updated
ArticiaS which fixes this. What Eyetech does with sold boards is
technically an internal matter, but let's just say that those of us who
have boards with this bug have been given a reasonable offer (cheap
upgrade to fixed board with G4 on it ;-), or straight replacement at no
cost)
What's really interesting is that the AmigaOne was a LOT less hassled
with this problem, for some reason. It only happens when I dump _huge_
amounts of data from disk to disk (we're talking gigs here). What I've
heard about the Pegasos is that they had problems on smallish ftp
transfers also. We never had that problem.
I don't know anything about bPlan replacing boards, but since Eyetech is
doing it, I would sincerely hope bPlan are doing it as well.
But as I said, the AmigaOne as offered by Eyetech right now does NOT
have this problem.
