- Short: Pics of Haynie working on PIOS ONE

- Here's three pictures of Dave Haynie working feverishly on the PIOS ONE
- prototype. I took these some 20 minutes before my flight back to London.
- Many thanks to the guys at PIOS for driving me out to their headquarters in
- Hildesheim from the CeBIT show at much in excess of the German speed limit.
- :-) Sorry for the picture quality, I'd run out of film for my SLR camera
- right after I took a photo of the motherboard, so this is taken with a
- backup 'happy snappy'.
-
- As for the PIOS ONE machine itself...
-
- Actually it worked before (CeBIT) but Stefan Domeyer, boss of PIOS Computer AG,
- informed me that Apple pointed out adding so-called CHRP compliancy was
- easy. Unfortunately adding Apple's 'Hydra' CHRP componant broke the design
- days before the CeBIT show in Hannover.
-
- So here's Dave Haynie working late trying to get it working to get up and
- running at the show. Ta da! No specs here, check out their web site or our
- fine publication for the full monty. (http://www.pios.de)
-
- Naturally the full story is in CU Amiga Magazine, sorry for the adverts
- on the pictures but it's a condition of the company allowing me to use
- them. Probably not a bad idea since our A\BOX concept render did the rounds
- though the Universe with no-one knowing where it actually came from. :-/
-
- I'll just take time to mention here that our Web site, long been neglected
- due to the company moving office, staff changes and my hollidays, is due for
- a complete redesign. The URL is http://www.cu-amiga.co.uk, hope you drop in
- and give us some comments. Please don't hound for updates though, we're all
- too painfully aware when we don't have time to work on it.
-
- Finally, the CU Amiga mailing list is still not operation (again) after the
- massive HD failure of 'Bitch'. The author of the listserver (MatSERV was
- lost forever) did reply once but not again since I've urgently requested
- the registered version (yes we did offer to pay). It will be back on soon
- even if I have to write MatSERV again (sigh), please keep an eye on
- the web site for more information.
-
- Keep the faith,
