Re: Order your A1 motherboard
Looks like there's problems with the SoundBlaster Live and the Via 686B
FAQ for Soundblaster Live Q) I’ve heard that the Sound Blaster Live! Doesn’t work with motherboards which have a VIA chipset. Is this true? A) Yes and No. There is nothing wrong physically between the hardware for the sound card and motherboard but there are some settings which can cause problems. The Abit KT7A motherboard is one which used to suffer from problems with data corruption when files are moved from IDE 2 to IDE 1 but this was resolved in a BIOS update. The VIA 686B south-bridge (UDMA 100) is the only version on which this problem shows up. The 686A (same as 686B but UDMA66) is unaffected. If your BIOS has the following settings, then the problems can be fixed by settings them to Disabled, Disabled, 0: Edwin |

Re: Order your A1 motherboard
Well, that certainly looks good. I'm looking very much forward to seeing a demo of it and OS4.0 before I plunk down cash for one, but I'm eager and willing.
I just wonder when we'll see them here in Canada. |

 There is a good chance I'll be bringing my AmigaOne up to the Ottawa area in October or November to demo for the local user group up there. Toronto's a lot closer to me so I can be easily talked into an AmigaOne demo in the Toronto area as well.Adam |

Re: Order your A1 motherboard
SoundBlasterLive ??
I thought that there was on-board (via AMR-riser) sound, and even if thats not perfect, so is the SBLive. (If I would replace on-board, I would do it with something better) |

Re: Order your A1 motherboard
Well I don't think anyone who is a TeamAmiga member will order until they recieve their coupons.

Re: Order your A1 motherboard
Could this be the remainder of the batch of Dev boards that Eyetech ordered, to get rid of them Prior to the actual release?
Alan did say on the A1 Mailing list that the board would only be available when OS4 was ready. |

Re: Order your A1 motherboard
@Droid
How could that be, aslong as Coder and others are still waiting for their boards ? This clearly a pre-order with unknown delievery date. |

Alan explained why the dev boards hadnt been released, in an email a while ago, but again that doesnt necessarily prove that Eyetech didnt already have the boards in their possession. Add this to the fact that the A1 is supposed to have a 686B on it when released but it is clearly stated on Eyetech's website that the boards we can order now have a 686A..... Just my thoughts. Ps. Another thought... There is no mention on the Eyetech website that this is a preorder comes with OS4. We all know how much they have been going on about how the final release board will only be shipped with OS4 |
