CommodoreUSA got Amiga trademark from the very same source as Hyperion - from Amiga.Inc. I would be really bad supporter of Amiga.Inc not acknowledging that.

There is no definition of 'Amiga' hardware that says they have to have custom chips maybe your thinking of Commodore Amigas ! The definition of Amiga hardware for 90% of users on this website is surely hardware that allows to use AmigaOS so that includes AmigaOnes. Most on this thread don't consider the Amiga Mini an Amiga even though it had the branding because it couldn't run AmigaOS natively and wasn't supported by Hyperion. This thread really is tiresome.

It's important what people think, but only facts matter.

From a legal point of view, SOME (not all!) PCs + PowerPC CPUs are labeled as "AmigaOne". You cannot call them "Amiga", because you don't have the (again, legal) right to call them as well.

And no, reducing the font size of "One" to an unreadable text doesn't make the magic of converting an AmigaOne to an Amiga. That's only a marketing idea in order to fake people thinking about it's an Amiga... illusion.

Commodore USA's Amiga Mini was also an Amiga.

That's from a legal point of view.

If we take a look at the specs of the Amiga machines produced by Commodore, we can also clearly see that no other machine after the Commodore bankrupt has similar characteristics.

The Amiga o.s. was (and is) only one part or the Amiga platform. Not the whole thing.

Last but not least, running the Amiga o.s. doesn't make a machine an Amiga. Otherwise my PC, PSP, etc. can be called Amiga also, because (Win)UAE allows me to run it.

The same applies to AmigaOS4, of course. And pay attention that OS4 runs also on machines which are neither Amigas (plus PowerPC cards) nor AmigaOnes (Pegagos, Efika, etc.).

That's if we are talking about FACTS.

Nobody is labeling them "Amiga". AmigaOne is distinct Amiga brand created by Amiga.Inc for hardware designed for AmigaDE and later AmigaOS.

Name AmigaOne (Amiga One) clearly shows its Amiga heritage. I see you don´t like it. Good.

Nobody can label them as "Amiga", because they haven't the rights to do so, since the Amiga brand is owned by Amiga Inc.

They can only call them AmigaOne. Indeed.

That's not about me, pavlor. They have no Amiga heritage: they have only new Amiga-based brands.

Unless you define such labels also as "heritage". Then, yes, we can talk about Amiga heritage. Even for the Amiga Mini.

They used the same Amiga hardware, except for a new CPU card (I remark: CARD). So, what are we talking about?

Yes, it's an Amiga because... they used an Amiga.

For AmigaOS, yes.

For AmigaOne, it's just a label, because it has nothing in common with the Amigas.

At least here we agree.

Dis I say opposite?

Amiga One bears Amiga in name and runs Amiga OS - exactly as original Amiga series.

A4000T can´t work without CPU card, it essential part of this computer...

Name is important. Connects past (original Amiga series) with present (AmigaOne).

(Win)UAE also let to run the Amiga o.s. thanks to the Amiga Forever package. Amiga Forever -> Amiga in the name -> Amiga. Right?

Yes, but Commodore wasn't the only company to create CPU boards for Amigas. Other vendors did it, and Amigas which used those were still... Amigas.

So, there's absolutely no difference for the A4000T/060: it was an Amiga with a 060 CPU board, like other Amigas with a different CPU board (not Commodore original).

That's only from a legal point of view, as you previously stated. That means that the Commodore USA's Amiga Mini is also an Amiga.

With the same logic, we can also say the same thing for every computer with an Amiga Forever package.

On Commodore Amiga Mini? Without doubt.

As other PCs aren´t Amiga branded, they don´t fulfill first part of my narrower deffnition "what is an Amiga":

Amiga branded computer powered by Amiga OS

This is only my definition, of course.

Exactly.

As I wrote above, such computer is not Amiga branded. It is like Pegasos 2 with AmigaOS. It seems your logic is flawed here.

BigD doesn't even have a PPC accelerator in his classic systems as they were "too pricey."
Not only is he encouraging others to spend money on expensive systems he himself is not prepared to buy, but also gobshiting about who is/is-not allowed to give opinions about an OS he doesn't even run himself.

@BigD

An apology to the people who are at least prepared to pay money to run it under emulation would seem to be in order, as would reigning in the hypocrisy a bit.

According to Wikipedia Amiga and AmigaOne are different brands.

"AmigaOS is the proprietary native operating system of the Amiga and AmigaOne personal computers."

Wikipedia as source of wisdom. I thought this change of ‎EVIL-MCDUCK will please some...

Amiga and AmigaOne computers are two distinct series of computers with Amiga brand.

Nothing bad with that - they had Commodore PC series and Bridgeboard add-on cards for Amiga computers.

@cdimauro - Previous posts about the Xena chip

I think the chip is added value to the AmigaONE X1000 anyway.
The capable developer wants surely to exploit it to its limits, while the not only makes gossip about it.

There are restrictions and constraints in every technology, you should be aware of it from the Commodore A500 days, with coders pushing the machine to its limits.

Ciao
