I sent Amiga, Inc. and Fleecy Moss an open letter in response to his statements on AmigaWorld.net and in Total Amiga Magazine about the hardware market restrictions imposed on AmigaOS. You can read it here.

Problem with your comments:
a) If AmigaOS4 was based on the 'open firmware' standard, instead of Hyperions weird hacked up BIOS code, it would be compatible with those 101 new motherboards and devices that are based on it.
b)Wasn't it mentioned somewhere that Hyperion licensed a driver system for 100+ graphics cards for AmigaOS4 recently? There's your 101 configurations!
c) 'try running' Yes, try running AmigaOS4! It currently doesn't work. If it did, then Hyperion would indeed be proud fathers to show off their operating system baby! |
