AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk is finally online!
Here you'll hopefully find all information you could possibly want about the "AmigaOS distribution policies and POP/PPC hardware petition". I hope the background information and FAQ will be especially helpful to clear up any confusion surrounding these issues.
If you have not yet signed the petition, then please do so now! Please help spreading the word by linking to AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk. It's not too late to save our favourite OS and a unified POP-based hardware market!
In other news, I have finally managed to get in touch with the PetitionOnline.com administrators. The few abuse and sabotage attempts so far have been removed from the signatory listings. Not that any garbage would ever reach the recipient of our petition, but I understand some thought that it didn't look too good...

AmigaOS + POP/PPC petition official web site : Comment 126 of 280 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Georg Steger on 06-Jun-2002 17:13 GMT | In reply to Comment 116 (Samface): > You see, this is what Amiga Inc. is offering *every* hardware manufacturer wanting to have AmigaOS4 support and all

But the hardware (motherboard) manufacturers who want to have AOS4 support
are not the problem.
The ones that do not want to specifically support AOS4 support are the
problem. == The ones who do not care/want to care about such a tiny
niche OS as the AmigaOS. Because there are hundreds such niche OSes around.
Not caring does not mean, that they don't give you necessary hw docs, etc.
Just that they don't want to give/have special treatmeants to do for
some obscure OSes like AmigaOS. |
