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?

"Ouch! Some people travelled 600km to talk with fleecy!"
I was lucky one with only about 600km travel and just carring small laptop for DE demoing... Some others had to travel over 2000km (>1000 in each direction) just to bring their full-tower Amigas into show and help on organizing the happening.. And no, none got any $$$..
I was hoping to see (or even buy) Amiga-DE PDA at that time. But, alas I did not see one then nor have I seen any since.
> 1st September 2002 can only be better .... right??????????????? 8(
It was not bad day in all, it was nice to meet Amiga people around the contry and it was good to see/hear Mr Battilana (I hope I get his name right?) demoing latest AmigaForever... Allmost everything went just fine, Except AmigaInc that is.. :(
Hmm.. I just realized no-one has got time/energy to translate these photo captions to English.. Ah well, my laptop with DE-player running is on page4 :-) http://batman.jypoly.fi/~saku/saku2001/valokuvaraportti/index.html |
