Hi guys,

Thought I’d share a quick press release with you from the Facebook-page of A-EON Technology. It has to do with the Varisys takeover. Read on!

A-EON Technology News Release

Following the news that Varisys, our hardware partners and designers of the Nemo motherboard, had been acquired by Ultra Electronics, we have been in close communication with regards current and ongoing development projects. Adam Barnes, Technical Director commented: “We are looking forward to continuing our relationship with A-EON and the Amiga community. We always hoped to develop IP for embedded applications through the A-EON projects, and that has not changed one bit.” Paul Gentle, General Manager added: “Adam and I are staying with the business, and are excited by the future prospects and opportunities that will arise.” A-EON Technology Director Matthew Leaman commented, “We wish to congratulate Varisys on their acquisition by Ultra Electronics and look forward to strengthening our close working relationship”.

Hi folks,

Just wanted to tell you that an interview with Varisys was published on the website of Obligement yesterday. Varisys is the manufacturer of the Nemo motherboards that are found in AmigaOne X1000′s.

Please follow this link to go to the interview.

I found it particularly interesting to read that new Amiga hardware is on the horizon:

If you had to build a successor of the AmigaOne X1000, which processor or features would it have?

- Watch this space…

It seems to me that plans are already being made for more AmigaOS 4.x compatible hardware. Exciting stuff! :)

Since this post became quite short, I’ve decided to provide you with an extra bonus. Below you’ll find a video of Amigang demonstrating his new AmigaOne X1000. This video was uploaded to YouTube yesterday. Hope you’ll like it!
