Thylacine USB Software Update V1.1 : Comment 22 of 47 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ben Hermans/hyperion on 27-Sep-2002 16:58 GMT | In reply to Comment 20 (Gregg): Simple.
Amiga Inc and bPlan failed to reach agreement.
Main stumbling block was the fact that the MorphOS team (or should I say Ralph Schmidt) refused to split the software development off from the hardware development.
Amiga did not have any faith in the fact that software developers who have a financial stake in one hardware producer would provide non-discriminatory software support of the same quality to rival hardware producers (Eyetech, Elbox, whoever else).
In essence, competing hardware producers would have been at the mercy of a rival company to get software support for their products.
This could never have worked.
And that's just one of the issues they failed to reach agreement on. |
