osopinion: Close That Open Hardware! : Comment 128 of 169 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Adam Kowalczyk on 15-Jun-2002 00:39 GMT | In reply to Comment 127 (Alkis Tsapanidis): I do not see the Amiga OS as being a big attraction for a POP board maker. Linux will be the biggest draw for the POP makers. Again, there is nothing stopping a third party from using these mysterious POP boards and getting them licensed. I'm sure if a better product came out, Eyetech would be one of the first to look at it.
The biggest thing I find strange about the POP market is why isn't there a mass production version of either an IBM product or a Motorola product. If anyone can make these boards cheap like borscht it should be them. If there is this huge POP market, why aren't the big boys making the boards cheap, and making them available? Can anyone answer this question? Even MAI doesn't seem interested in selling boards but chipsets. Looks like a solution without a problem. At the end of 2002, I will expect that Eyetech and bPlan/Thendic will each have a 50% share of the non-Apple mass produced PPC motherboards. |
