    @Andreas_Wolf:
    I thought you wouldn't leave this unanswered ;-)
    But since the dawn of time, the earlier message has been considered the one delivered first, not the one sent first.
    Therefore, Tuvok was faster.

    @Sailor

    Thanks for sharing and spending the time to do the tests!



    The reality is the Mirari or a Powerbook 1.67 (given they are about the same speed wise) is perfectly fast for MorphOS for most things. Wayfarer is about the only application that will use as much power as you can provide it, but for email, word processing, spreadsheets, games, pagestream, crm, etc. They are fast enough to get the job done well imho anyways.

    Sure I wouldn't say no to a faster system, but given how good MorphOS is I'm in no hurry...

    I'm at a loss how to parse this. How can a message be delivered earlier if sent later?
    I'm sure my message was delivered to the MorphZone forum earlier than Tuvok's message was delivered to the Amigans.net forum because I was faster at sending than Tuvok :-)

    I think that it is clear:
    - message concerns my article on intuitionbase.com. It means, that message has to be delivered to somebody who can fix it. And it is @walkero ( admin of intuitionbase.com ) or me. And because it was me who fix it, important was message to me.

    Message from Tuvok@amigans.net arrived to me earlier, and I fix it. After that I read your message. So, you was late this time ;-)

    But don´t worry, I have in plan to write more articles in future and you will have many opportunities for corrections.

    No, not even dual-core.

    They just used a second core as random generator or pi calculator, because those "tasks" do not require any OS call.

    And they even managed to crash that simple demo at a live event!

    Nope. The moment any core touches *anything* in system memory it's instant chaos.

    With this example, he probably thought of using kind of AMP/ASMP to have several cores render the contents of several browser tabs in parallel, which might or might not make sense (if at all, then best with tabs that are currently not displayed) but wouldn't require system memory access by those cores.

    It will be a while as boards still need to be produced/shipped/finished but it seems the club will be less exclusive later this year ;(

    Hi Bash,

    Here is what's currently happening behind the scenes:

    We have 100 boards in process. Once this batch comes in and CPUs are placed, we'll have a much clearer view of our yield quality based on some bigger volumes.

    The amount of interest we’ve received has exceeded the size of our initial batch! As a result, a backorder log has naturally formed. This will probably mean a second batch is needed.

    We know not everyone who filled out the interest form or has send me a mail will end up placing a final order. To keep things fair and organized, we will be reaching out directly to individuals based on the details submitted in the interest form as boards become available.

    If you have not letft you detail in the form please do so: https://forms.gle/tv34aSUpyi9v1x6LA

    https://forms.gle/tv34aSUpyi9v1x6LA

    This means you cannot just buy a board yet, as we are working hard to get things in place.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    @Skateman: Would you be open to having other operating systems ported to this board? I might be interested in porting Haiku to it once I'm finished with the Pegasos 2.
    Nothing hurts a project more than developers not taking the time to let their community know what is going on.

    What's more "quadcore amiga" about the Mirari than about the AmigaOne X5000/40 (or than the PowerMac quad-G5 with MorphOS some may add)?

    I see, you mean a "quadcore amiga[s] finally" for you personally to purchase then! I mistook that for a general statement, probably thanks to the plural form and my conjecture that most people wouldn't purchase more than one :-)
