Guru Meditation & Troika Join
Gothenburg, Sweden, September 24th, 2005
Guru Meditation and Troika NG are pleased to announce a joint partnership in creating the next generation AmigaOS 4.0 motherboard.
Ever since Guru Meditation first heard about Troika, they gathered every little bit of information about their proposed board. Finally, contact was made.
Troika, who greatly respects the business Guru Meditation has built up in short time, found it very easy to partner with them.
Resources provided by Guru Meditation are now being utilized by Troika's project "Prometheus." Troika believes that with the additional resources that Guru Meditation is providing they double or triple their effective man hours to finish the project faster, and thus bring the board to production sooner!
Andreas Loong of Guru Meditation said, "With this injection we hope to see the board ready and in production earlier than expected. It also means some interesting possibilities for the future." He further added, "Looking at the specifications and the current shortage of hardware in the market spurred us on further, and we believe this will be a very nice addition, especially as a developer board. However, developer boards doesn't rule out other configurations, and we are confident that Troika and Guru Meditation is a winning combination."
Josh B. of TroikaNG commented "Guru Meditation is very well known for good quality service and support in the AmigaOne Community. We are so pleased for Guru Meditation to bring additional resources into the Troika design."
The Amy'05 is a mini-ITX form factor computer based around the PowerPC 750FX microprocessor. It is intended to be a low cost, legacy free system aimed at the embedded/home server market running versions of Linux and the Amiga OS4 operating system.
Although modest by modern hardware standards, Amy'05 has been designed in such a way as to leverage the highest performance possible with enough system throughput to make the best use of the PPC processor. The design has very much been balanced for performance and price.
Guru Meditation & Troika NG
Guru Meditation was formed late 2003 and started off very modestly as a reseller of Amiga equipment and AmigaOne hardware. In mid 2004 the decision was made to acquire the rights for Directory Opus to bring it back to the Amiga platform as the start of a new program of expansion to help kickstart the Amiga market back into life.
Troika NG formed to provide the next generation in PPC computers, based on the Troika "reference design." The final goal being, the next generation Amiga at a very reasonable price/performance.
