AmigaOne X1000 is a PowerPC-based personal computer intended as a high-end platform for AmigaOS 4. It was announced by A-Eon Technology CVBA in partnership with Hyperion Entertainment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hyperion Entertainment CVBA and A-EON Technology CVBA announce strategic partnership )〕 Its name is influenced by the Amiga 1000 released by Commodore in 1985 as a homage. It is however not hardware compatible with the original Commodore Amiga system. ==History== A-Eon Technology is a privately funded company co-founded by Trevor Dickinson. The focus of A-Eon was on the high-end and a partnership with Hyperion Entertainment was formed to allow discussion with key AmigaOS 4 developers about what such a next generation AmigaOS 4 computer would need. With the end of the AmigaONE line from Eyetech and lack of success porting the OS to third party machines, A-Eon decided to continue the AmigaONE line themselves with more up to date technology. One important decision made during this early phase was that the AmigaOne X1000 should be a complete system built around a bespoke motherboard with a customised case and peripherals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interview with Trevor Dickinson )〕 This contrasts with the adapted reference design strategy used by Eyetech for the original AmigaOne series. Even before the 'wish list' was completed, hardware design company Varisys had been chosen as a partner based on their track record both with the PowerPC architecture and with parallel computing. The decision to form a partnership with Varisys had the consequence of bringing XMOS chips to the AmigaOne X1000, as it is the connection between XMOS and the Varisys team, dating back to earlier work on the Inmos Transputer, that led to the suggestion of including an XMOS XCore chip on the X1000 motherboard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A-Eon and Varisys Announce Partnership )〕 This XCore chip is referred to by A-Eon as the 'Xena' Coprocessor. The first prototype machines were manufactured during mid-2009 and Hyperion Entertainment began the process of porting the AmigaOS to the X1000 in late-2009. By mid-June 2010, the X1000 was booting AmigaOS from hard disk and the machine made its debut at the Vintage Computer festival at Bletchley Park on the weekend on the 19 and 20 June 2010.
