What did uLose Corporation do before? Why didn’t we see uLose before on the Amiga market? Why didn’t uLose release announcements before? |
|
|
A: |
uLose Corporation exists in the current type only since the 2nd of Oct 99. Before that we produced X-rated films and quality pork products under the name "Slammo". |
|
Q: |
If you're a real company, why is your page on Geocities? |
|
A: |
Tax reasons. |
|
Q: |
You say you were known as Slammo before this, but when I try to go to www.slammo.com , I just see a firm which can’t be you. |
|
A: |
You are correct. The firm behind www.slammo.com is not connected with uLose Corporation. We never had a webpage with the URL www.slammo.com. |
|
Q: |
How did you get your computers to be compatible with the AmigaOS? Did you license the technology? |
|
A: |
No, we didn’t license the technology from Amiga Inc. Our computers are based upon a completely new architecture and do not use any of the Amiga Inc. copyrighted patents or technology. In fact, we don't use one line of code from the original Amiga’s, or for that matter we don't even use a programming language anyone has ever used before. |
|
Q: |
Okay, but how did you really do it? |
|
A: |
Sorry, but we wont give out a detailed description of our hardware and software designs. Technical information will be available from this website soon. |
|
Q: |
The design of the case is nice. How do you produce it? |
|
A: |
The case is just a concept case. The actual case may differ and may in fact look remarkably like a spray-painted Ateo tower case. |
|
Q: |
Why didn’t you include the Amiga logo or something like that on the cases? |
|
A: |
Amiga would sue our asses. |
|
Q: |
Will Picasso and my CyberGFX board run with your computers? |
|
A: |
Yes they will, and the onboard ROM chips on the motherboard will make them run 12 to 14 times faster. |
|
Q: |
Will all my older extensions also work with it? |
|
A: |
Yes they will |
|
Q: |
What about the software? Will it work? |
|
A: |
Applications work 100%. Games and Demos work 112%. We actually tried 2 games, and they seemed to load. |
|
Q: |
You computers claim to have ZorroIV slots. Wtf? |
|
A: |
ZorroIII is outdated. We've forward-engineered all new "Zorro" "slots". |
|
Q: |
Do your computers have a video slot? |
|
A: |
Yes, as many as you want. |
|
Q: |
Would a G4 machine from uLose be designed to have the full 2MB L2 cache? |
|
A: |
We've skipped over the G4 to the G7. Note, our G7 is not by Motorola. It is an extrapolated forward-engineered chip based on what Motorola's G7 chip will be like if they ever make one. |
|
Q: |
How do your PPC machines work with the AmigaOS? |
|
A: |
We have spent the last 6 days porting AmigaOS to PPC, and are 85-90% finished. |
|
Q: |
Will you support PowerUp too? |
|
A: |
PowerUp is supported, and you will be able to run PowerUp apps at the same time as WarpUP apps. |
|
Q: |
You mentioned infinite RAM. How is it possible and for what reason do I need infinite ram? |
|
A: |
It is possible because of the new technology and architecture. If you need infinite ram or not - you will have them available. |
|
Q: |
Will I really be able to use standard PCI and AGP cards in my Amiga??? |
|
A: |
Yes, we guarantee that every PCI & AGP card ever made will work with 113% compatability. |
|
Q: |
Are you using Amiga technology? |
|
A: |
NO. We do not use any of the copyrighted Amiga technology! |
|
Q: |
Which type of memory are you using and what is the max. amount of RAM? |
|
A: |
Our A-Series computers use InfiRAM technology to provide an infinite amount of RAM. |
