for an english translation:
"due to absolutely unsatisfactory co-operation on the part of Genesi and disregard of a contract within one period from now meanwhile scarcely 16 months, it is to be supported us unfortunately not possible the Pegasos and thus particularly MorphOS regarding an adapted version from AmiATLAS to.
This applies accordingly also to all other projects e.g. OctaMed Soundstudio or XiPaint. Our emphasis will be thus logically AmigaOne and/or AmigaOS4. We regret it, however the past process does not lie in our hand. Nevertheless all MorphOS Usern for the future much fun with the system!
AmiATLAS development team,
Gerd frank
KMOS paid him to work on OS4 projects only!
Eyetech gave him a FREE AmigaTeron.
Hyperion gave him a FREE OS4 kit.

Gerd Frank sells out to KMOS! : Comment 48 of 102 | ANN.lu |

Hyperion does not manufacture hardware, and as such, we're not giving out free hardware. We do, however, have active developer support (including regular updates of the SDK with up-to-date compilers and tools).
That's fine. But that apparently wasn't the issue with this developer. He's upset because he didn't get free Genesi hardware.
> What was your point again?
What is yours? The poster didn't say anything about Hyperion, Eyetech or Amiga. It would be only natural, I guess, to concentrate on disproving the points he made. Your cheap slab at AmigaOS 4 was uncalled for, and only demonstrates your inability to argue in an orderly manner. All you can do is try to get the discussion away from (obviously very real) existing problems by trying to target the opposition again.
I'm sorry you interpreted my words that way. The Amiga market was brought up by the person I was replying to, not by me. My point was that in fact Genesi and later Freescale have given *many* developers free boards or systems. As you can see, I *did* address the poster's point; I did not try to deflect the argument.
I realize that Hyperion doesn't manufacture hardware and so it can't give any to developers. I didn't say it's *Hyperion's* responsibility to do this, so don't respond defensively to an accusation I didn't make. However, Hyperion is building a platform in cooperation with partners, one of which *is* a hardware supplier, so *your partnership* theoretically could supply boards to key developers in the same way that Genesi has done independently and with Freescale's support. I mentioned Pagestream because I understand the AmigaOS4 version is delayed because the developer doesn't have an AmigaOne. This is a real problem, stated simply to show the problem exists for both platforms. I was only trying to respond to the poster's points and put this situation in context. No cheap slap was intended.
Very lame.
My points are valid, as far as I can tell.
