[quote] The fundamental rift at this point in time is Amiga Inc. supports a licensed approach and there are others who feel "Plethora Of POP" (new recursive acronym)" boards are just around the corner which should be able to run the Amiga OS. Amiga Inc.'s policy is that the OS will not run on unlicensed boards. Period. Thendic/bPlan have stated the Amiga market isn't their primary concern. Skip the petitions, the grandstanding, the endless banter and cast your vote with your hard earned cash. People just need to understand that buying a licensed board supports Amiga, buying a non-licensed board supports someone else. In our tiny community it's impossible to cherry-pick the best software and hardware solutions and support all interested parties. [/quote] What the community wants IMHO is access to cheap(er) hardware in order to run their favourite OS. I'm sure there's very few people who would like to see Amiga go down the tubes and many who'd like to see the platform succeed in a big way. By only allowing licenced vendors to seell licenced hardware, the platform itself will relegated to the days of having to buy C= hardware with all the acompanying custom chips. I'd love to see the "Plethora of POP", with AmigaOS running on all of 'em! Cache Ya, Craig. Jump...
