On an ANN thread Bill and Raquel comment on their attitude towareds AmigaOS4 and it's appearance on the pegasos.
"If AmigaOS4.0 is fully finished and running natively on a
PPC we will be happy for Hyperion and Amiga Inc. Undoubtedly, in this community
there will be more than one person who will copy a legally obtained copy
of the operating system onto the Pegasos. How will Amiga Inc. stop this?
We cannot control this and neither can they. If AmigaOS4.0 becomes what
it is claimed to be – great! We will sell a few more Pegasos machines.
Thanks Hyperion! We wish them our best. We have absolutely nothing against
this effort."
Personally I think that no hardware developers who don't licence the amiga
name will pay money for certification to get os4 running on their boards.
However because the pegasos and the amiga one share the same northbridge
and BIOS (atm), it should not be difficult for a developer to port os4 across
to the pegasos. The question is; Will Hyperion and Amiga Inc allow this without
wanting money from Bplan/Thendic France? And does it matter?

Thendic France comment on OS4.0 : Comment 148 of 165 | ANN.lu |
Posted by JoannaK on 20-Aug-2002 07:26 GMT | In reply to Comment 145 (Jürgen Lange): " ... so let's wait for the First of September!!!"
September 1:st .. The day of action... (Yeah)
To me that sounds even sicker joke than to average ex-Amigian. 1st September (2001) was the day when Mr Moss personaly kicked my A**. He failed to deliver, failed to show up and what's worst failed to announce his cancellation in time so we could have arranged something in place of that expected DE demo (not to mention those DE-enabled PDA:s that never appeared for us to show)...

Ah well-- it was the last public Amigahappening in this country. And there will be no more until something real and new Amiga is available.. And no, limited-number prototype-board running PPC_linux is not IT.
1st September 2001 was the day DE died to me, so is 1st September 2002 going to be the day when entire AmigaInc collapses? With all that egoistic rant they are IMHO driven themselves in hopeless position. They have to sue everybody to keep their face and at the same time I honestly can't see any hope on them to actually win anything by doing so.
Ah well.. perhaps it's time to move on and let them die. I have given my fair share of support (like purchasing partyPack and promoting DE and AmigaOne) while hoping to get new Amiga. If it happens it happnes, but I'm not going to hold my breath while waiting. |
