These machines have mainly come from schools and businesses. As such there are various

brandings, labels, markings, scratches, very occassional broken bits (e.g. front flaps) on the

cases. All machines have been generally cleaned and air dusted inside to get rid of most of

the dust, however the cases have not been meticulously cleaned as this would take a long

time and increase the prices considerably. Any machines which have PC cards are usually

486 cards, but as these are basically worthless, their value has not been taken into account

(and they might not have all the software on the disc to work them anyway).

Editor's Comment

CONTENTS

AcoTD.

u*^Ntf0R

User

I wonder how many people thought I was bluffing? Or possibly a silly

optimist? Well there you go, a new machine. In fact more than just a new

machine, a new operating system, a new design in fact.

Or is it a new design?

Now please understand that is is absolutely not a criticism because,

frankly, this is the very best news we have had in over four years. I am so

pleased that I'm grinning from ear to ear.

But I think I was commenting on the design. Let's look at what we've got:

XScale processor (what's the speed on that? Castle aren't saying exactly but

I do know that someone said "full speed" which means either 400MHz or

600MHz and nobody is going to get excited about 400MHz so I'll put my

money on 600). USB, fine; PCI, okay; and podule slots.

Podule slots? Oh yes, for backward compatibility, of course. Come again?

Backward compatibility? Does that make sense?

What have we got? We've got a 32-bit machine, not 26-bit. How many

podules have been released recently? Two. One was a USB card (and this

machine already has that) and the other was a network card from Castle.

And this machine's already got that too. And all the other existing podule

cards have 26-bit software in them so won't work anyway.

So why has this machine got podule slots, a 66MHz bus and why is it

using a PCI graphics interface when PCI is old hat for graphics?

Well I won't claim that this is an original idea, and it may be one that has

been mooted before but I think perhaps that this machine is more than just

an lyonix.

More like a phoenix.

Or possibly a character from Friends: After all what's in a name? lyonix

from Phoenix from Phoebe. Coincidence? Perhaps.

Then again, maybe we got what we were promised after all.
