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 211 of 280 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Tbone on 07-Jun-2002 10:43 GMT | In reply to Comment 208 (Tbone): This way, we get to stand on the shoulders of a platform who's specs are already established, and even rise with the tide of dawning hardware as it's becoming available.
(replying to myself ;)
I should add, we'll only get this chance once, as the port is happening now, if we don't direct our port at the POP platform now, the platform won't wait for us, and the tide will rise for unlicensed hardware, but we'll have to go through this whole thing again to get more boards licensed and dongleized or whatever. I've no problem starting with an A1 from Eyetech, it's all that's available... (not counting Bermuda tri^H^H^H^HDCE Pegasos) But I would like to ride the tide upwards, and what happens if Amiga decides AmigaOS is dead and DE is king and no more licenses get granted?
With a targeted platform, we have no worries about obsolecense. |
