I think you might be wishing for too much, us people in the UK will probably get it after the Australians.

It seems so strange that I order something 2 sundays ago (just before the bankholiday) and had receved it the same week (on thursday), but the CDs can get to us in the uk 7 working days after being sent to the dealers.

Before anyone thinks I am critising Hyperion I am not, probably Eyetech but not Hyperion

@FuZion
Sven told me two days ago that he had spoken to Alan and would be receiving the CDs "very soon".

@Rogue
Thanks for the status update.

Yep 'very soon' does sound like Eyetech, could be weeks before anything happens, who knows . I thought about sending an email to them, but you usually get a snotty reply.

I think my A1 is great, but I have never seen or expect to see any positive customer service from Eyetech.

I think it'll be a race between us and the Aussies to see who has to wait the longest for their CDs.

Hey Eyetech, why don't you actually tell us something? This is a rather important event and some word onthe ETA of the discs would be very welcome.

In Eyetech's defence I have always found their customer service pretty good. Whenever I've ordered something from them they've responded pretty quickly, ok, so the A1 took some time but other items have been pretty snappy. They've answered the phone after business hours on several occasions and their email responses have been good.

I must say a quick posting on AmigaWorld or their website to tell us the status would be nice though. A rough estimate would at least stop us all playing the waiting game if we knew it was going to be couple of days or next week, end of the month... etc..

Hmmm,

I don't wanna sound like I'm moaning, after all it's out of people hands at the moment. You cannot account for shipping. In my mind I've been kinda expecting to hear something next week but when you're looking forward to something, sometimes you can't help but be a little bit on edge.

For example, I have a few little jobs to do on my computer, I can't be bothered because I wanna do them on OS4. A little Cinema4D work, a little image processing. I've been fine using my B1260/50 but the closer this OS4 gets to my A1, the more I wanna see how it'll handle a little rendering, processing etc...

Ooh, there's some bitchin' at ANN ... as usual.

Nice to see that things are still making progress though :)

I'll get myself a system once it is released fully. That's what I said 2/3 years ago ... ah well.

Does DPaint V (or IV AGA) or at least PPaint work on OS4? Screenshots? I've been lacking screenshots, I was expecting more since the prerelease came out. Oh well.

I'll probably be last of all, then. I was one of the very earliest purchasers of the A1, shortly after Ole-egil, and there were no dealers carrying it yet, so I purchased it direct from Eyetech. However, I live in Seattle, in the US. So I'll definitely get it after everyone in the UK.

But, booting from a floppy drive via a USB port can only happen when the laptop computer in question recognizes its USB ports on power up. I happen to own two different laptops which each do not recognize that their USB ports exist until Windoze is up and running. Thus, booting from a USB device for this machine becomes irrelevant. Similarly, this machine's PCMCIA ports are asleep until Windoze is running, so no booting from a SCSI device such as an external CD ROM is possible on either machine. I am hoping that the AmigaOne will provide the sort of flexibility that my laptops do not, by being able to boot from SCSI or USB external drives. This brings me to my question: does the A1 support SCSI ? I want to buy an A1 with a SCSI HD, rather than an IDE.

Hmmm. I don't get it. UK should have it already. I thought Eyetech was a bit ahead of the rest when it comes to getting the cd's.

If I get the cd before you do something is wrong. But you know what will happen. Ohh it's out and now you still complain? I sure hope you do have it fast.

I hear that a lot about Eyetech. I don't deal with them but I have heard this kind of stuff a lot. It surely would effect my decision to buy something there. And I think for other people too. You just cannot ignore questions. And I don't want to hear the words, we are so busy we don't have time for that. That's all wrong. Customers are very important. I do see positive things about them too. But also this negative stuff.

By the way, people that want to ask were there cd is have the rigth to do so. It's not moaning or bitching or whatever. I think a lot of dealers got those questions and might get tired of it but just deal with it. Oh my dealer is OK! (Just saying before he pulls my cd out of the mail)

The minute they had that program out I ordered one. That was in 2002. I think you had to decide in a few days. The board would arrive in April and 6 months later you would have a beta of OS4. Well, the board arrived in 2003 and the beta is still not here.

Sounds like my story. I put my order in back in May of 02 . . . .
I too am waiting to hear something from Eyetech.
Will Seattle or the S.F. area get it first??? Let me know when you get yours.

I read somewhere classic Amiga+PPC version is in beta too, so I would like to ask. Will be there also native support for FastATA (PowerFlyer) or Elbox has still the same policy (I am sure everybody know what I mean. I hoped for Linux drivers for ages ...but I give up)

Hattig enquired: Does DPaint V (or IV AGA) or at least PPaint work on OS4?

Well let me advise that PPaint works on classic systems with graphics card displays. I have run PPaint right on up to 1600x1200 screens on a 15" multiSync.

To successfully run ANY DPaint version on such a system the output has to use the D23 RGB port, and bypass the graphics card. This is because DPaint uses the Amiga graphics.

Guess what? The AmigaOne hardware uses a graphics card. The Cyberstorm-PPC & the Blizzard-PPC retain their original motherboard graphics chips, but do ANY users not output via graphics card add-ons?

If you need DPaint V that badly there is always UAE.
