  1. Re:Some things for most people: on Geek Eye for the Average Guy · · Score: 1

    Goodwill where? I'm interested. I've got a great Model M, but I want some more - they're GREAT keyboards.

  2. Re:Some things for most people: on Geek Eye for the Average Guy · · Score: 1

    It's called Model M. All the keys are slanted the same.

    Hmm, your local thrift store might have an IBM Model M, which is a VERY nice QWERTY keyboard for a few bucks used, and you can EASILY swap the keys into a DVORAK layout, and then use the Linux/Windows keymap utility to switch to DVORAK.

  4. Re:YOU FUCKING COCKSMOKING AMIGA FAN BOYS ARE FUCK on Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board · · Score: 1

    I'll feed the flamebait... You can run Mac OS X via MacOnLinux on this board. Granted, it's only a G4, but in Mini-ITX? That's damn good, especially considering it'll take a DUAL CPU card when they come out. (It's the Mini-ITX version of the Eyetech G4-XE)

    RTFMFS (Mini-ITX fan site - mini-itx.com). They tell you how to fix the grounding problem. (As for the undervoltage, well...)

    www.vapor.com - all shareware.

    Also, this is the smallest PPC Linux board yet. Plus, if you want to run Mac OS X, you can (through MacOnLinux). Non-Amigans will buy it - for LinuxPPC (which is all it runs now anyway...) If it's hackable to directly run OS X, I'm tempted to get one instead of a VIA EPIA.

  7. Re:Future of Amiga? on Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board · · Score: 1

    Quick question, are you using MOL? If you've found a way to directly boot Mac OS X, I'd like to know. It might make me buy one of these over a VIA EPIA M10000 Nehemia.

  8. Re:What is it with you Mac fanatics? on Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board · · Score: 1

    The site's down, but this article has the story of an alcohol-cooled 486 that lasted 3 minutes at 247MHz (a sober person had taken off the jumpers to put it away, and some drunk guy booted it and played Half-Life).

  9. Re:Testing for full vaporware compliance... on Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board · · Score: 1

    It's a G3 or G4 (your choice - as long as it's on an A1CPU board), it runs anything that'll run on a PPC (including Linux), so yes, it'll support IPV6, Enlightenment 17 runs on Linux, and DN4E - you might want to use Bochs for that. So, your answers are:

    No.
    Yes.
    Yes.
    Maybe.

  10. Re:AmigaONE ITX + G4 + ??? = ITX G4 Linux box? on Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board · · Score: 1

    Actually, that's the only thing you can do right now (when it's released - they might wait for AOS4 to be released). If I were to get one, I'd try to load it up with Open Firmware to straight boot Mac OS X. If I couldn't do that, I'd use MOL on LinuxPPC, and MAYBE dual-boot with AOS4 (when it comes out).

  11. Re:"This little gem"? on Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board · · Score: 1

    LITTLE is the key word (in the Mini-ITX sense of the word, anyway...) GEMDOS looks to be a touch big for it's time (~200KB - for the core OS, which was in BIOS on the Amiga).

  12. Re:An Amiga with a Radeon and VIA chips? on Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board · · Score: 1

    Two CPUs is different? BTW, there's a Dual G4 A1CPU board in development (it seems to use a custom CPU interface - on the XE and Lite models) for the AmigaONE G*-XE and Lite. (the SE uses a soldered on G3@600MHz)

  13. Re:again? on Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I'd think that running MOL would be an even better idea. (anyone want to port MOL to assembly in ROM? - let it interface with the hardware, too) A full-powered Mac OS X box in a Mini-ITX case would ROCK. BTW, AFAIK the Dual G4 A1 CPU card isn't available yet.

  16. Re:cool hardware hack! on Mini-ITX AmigaONE Board · · Score: 1

    Currently, OS 4 (the first PPC version) isn't out yet, so the only option is LinuxPPC. It's a generic PPC system, except it uses a custom CPU socket, and the ROMs will be specialized for OS 4 (currently they're LinuxPPC optimized, but an OS 4 "kickstart" ROM will be released). If you want, run MacOnLinux on LinuxPPC, and you've got a Mini-ITX Mac.
