Yes, it got out to all customers who bought either a fully equipped system or just the bare bone motherboard. It is very nice to see such a response to this, not what I expected.

Why do people persist on calling it >SIL< 0680?! "SI" stands for Silicon Image, which is the manufacturer of the controller. Where do you get the L from? It should be SI0680 or perhaps "Sil. 0680" where "Sil." would be short for "Silicon", but not SIL. |
The product name is Sil 0680. I've also seen the names "SI0680" as well as "SIL680" and "SIL0680" in Google._________________ ExecSG Team Lead |

No it isn't, it's SiI, not SiL. I would guess "Silicon Image Ide". Or simply "SIlicon Image", but who cares... Last edited by Deniil715 on 08-Oct-2004 at 10:16 PM.

Actually, if you look at what ssolie links to there, you'll see that it is sii and not sil, although he mentions that later. Doesn't matter much anyway, whatever floats your boat I guess ;)

| Thanks for all the praise, everyone. It's nice to get some feedback when you do something nice and it does good for the morale.

| Had to buy mine from gurumeditation (~40EUR including an extra UDMA cable). I guess that's the price for buying my A1 from GGSData ;)

I've just purchased one of these: http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.asp?sku=110632&cks=PRL
If it's the right card I'll buy another, I actually want it for my other computer which has an even worse IDE controller than the AmigaOne _________________ This weeks pet peeve: Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean. |

I got one of these from Clas Ohlson (32-6849), mainly because it was the only compatible one I could find here, and I didn't want to use mailorder as the postage would be rather expensive... |

| @Deniil715 > Why do people persist on calling it >SIL< 0680?!
I saw a post somewhere saying it was an honest misreading from the chip that the capital 'i' looke the same as a lower-case 'L'. Of the two characters 'I' and 'l', which is the upper-case 'i' and which is the lower-case 'L'?? I typed one of each there, and I already forget which is which... My chip has "SiI0680Asomethingsomething" written on it, and you really think it's a lower-case 'L' if you don't think about it. Call it short for "SILicon image" if you like. ;) Is it really that important? _________________ All glory to the Hypnotoad! |
