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 38 of 280 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ben Hermans/Hyperion on 06-Jun-2002 08:04 GMT | In reply to Comment 30 (Bladerunner): I'm sorry, with the access I have to information at IBM and Motorola, I simply have a hard time believing in another serious mass-production of POP boards.
The economics are stacked up against this for the reasons I've outlined above and which simply boil down to a lack of demand.
Producing a few boards is one thing, mass producing them at an affordable and competitive price is another which requires very substantial financial backing.
We'll deal with it in the unlikely case it comes to pass.
And yes, we could consider something like a USB token which is another reason why I consider this whole discussion to be a non-issue. |
