7: Next to the display box, another X1000 was being tinkered with by the Frieden brothers (Hans-Jörg and Thomas). Apparently it had booted AmigaOS 4.1 from hard drive (as opposed to over the network, where fewer drivers etc. need to be working) for the first time a few days earlier, and there were still some things to iron out, plus that not all the hardware drivers (e.g. SATA) had made it to the show from their developers. Some applications, among them Timberwolf, also had problems running on this very early setup. But it was running OWB very nicely and generally performed okay in spite of having a lot of debugcode still left in, slowing it down. It will be interesting (understatement of the year!) to see it again when the beta boards are ready.
