For the community, the wait and the false dawns have been unbearable.Originally in 2000, AmigaOne was the name of a project for new computer hardware to run the Amiga Digital Environment (DE),[2][3] later plans replaced by AmigaOS 4.
[8][9] Eyetech, who at this point had invested funds into the project, was forced instead to license the Teron CX board from Mai to form the basis of the new AmigaONE computer range.
AmigaOne (SE and XE) motherboards had several hardware issues including conflicts between the onboard IDE and Ethernet controllers,[15] problems with USB device detection[16] and initially no support for the on-board AC97 audio.
Due to the mistaken belief that the on-board AC97 audio could not be supported, the AC97 codec was removed from later builds of the motherboard.
[30] Also at Amiwest 2013, A-Eon Technology Ltd, a British computer company, announced three new AmigaOne motherboards,[31][32] with the project named Cyrus.
[38] ArsTechnica review of the AmigaOne X5000 commended its compatibility with old Amiga applications and games, but criticised the very high price and lack of new software.
[40] In January 2015, Acube Systems started selling AmigaOne 500 computers based on the Sam460cr motherboard, a cost reduced version of original Sam460ex.
[42] In autumn 2015, A-Eon Technology Ltd announced a new motherboard with the project development name Tabor[43] based on a P1022 1.2 GHz SoC.
[45] The Sam440 mainboard (complete with AMCC PowerPC 440EP SoC) is an embedded motherboard launched by Acube Systems in September 2007.
The Sam460ex mainboard (complete with AMCC 460ex SoC, PowerPC 440 core) is an embedded motherboard launched by Acube Systems in April 2010.
The Pegasos II mainboard (complete with PPC G3 and G4 CPU) is a MicroATX motherboard launched by Genesi and discontinued in 2006.
