Eyetech replied to Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco's recent posting in the AmigaOne group at Yahoo. This is a repost under my name, since the original poster asked for the article to be removed. I don't agree with the view that this message should be kept off ANN since it is an interesting read and presents, in a way, the other side of the story; but after some consideration decided to respect the original poster's wish to have his posting and name removed, and opted to create a duplicate.
I'm afraid Buck has exceeded even his usual level of bullshit and innuendo on this one.

My take on this:

Our announcement of the G4 availability and pricing, and of the (solved) Articia problem at the WoA SE was not what he expected. Since then we have been innundated for dealership agreements from ex-Amiga dealers who have (and their customers have) good memories of the Amiga OS and a growing hatred of Windows. The polls, such as they, are show that the A1-XE G4 is by far the most popular PPC platform for the Amiga community and this must also have been a bit of a shock. (Is it also a coincidence that we've been the recipients of an intense, targeted virus campaign since then, I wonder?)

Meanwhile Hyperions work on PPCBoot and linux has allowed the Teron reference boards to get to a level where they can be usefully sold in the Linux Market. As most on this list will know we have the rights to distribute these boards in Europe and now Terrasoft do in the US. (We also have distribution rights on the Teron based designs for the Amiga marker worldwide). This has knackered Thendics plans for world domination of the PPC Linux market.

Reading between the lines it seems that they are prepared to drop MorphOS altogether if they can get their hands on OS4 to at least salvage something. Buck plans to do this by suing Amiga Inc (for what?) and bribing us to abandon the AmigaOne and Hyperion to port OS4 to the pegasos hardware . Sorry, thats not on. You can only have sensible business arrangements with people who are trustworthy and behave with integrity. There are plenty of instances (which are inappropriate to reveal here) where these principles have been completely abandoned on his side.

On their so-called relationship with MAI, we/hyperion have done more to help MAI get the Teron design to the linux market than ever bplan have, alltough I don't doubt that Gerald Carda made an important contribution to identifying the Articia bug - I've every respect for him as a hardware engineer.

As far as Thendic making their own boards is concerned thats a complete joke. Its a matter of public record that Thendic-France incorporated as a one-man company with the minimum 7500 euros of capital. Thendic, like us and MAI do not actually make anything themselves, manufacture is all subcontracted. In our case its to a Tiawanese specialist, in Thendic's its to DCE. Based on our past experience of quality assurance and after sales service from DCE I personally would never buy any DCE manufactured products for resale again.

Well you did ask

Alan

And by the way this is not a popularity contest of which hw reseller has helped mai the most! This is about which product is better in terms of hardware PERIOD!!!
Man I get full of hatred when I see innuendo and crap like this posted by ANY of the parties at amiga market, desperately trying to get the sheeps and zealots choose their line of products by spreading hearsay and yet failing to prove any evidence on their claims!
F#"&k you ALAN u just lost me as your customer. And at the same time here goes as a warning to genisi too: Be careful how you conduct your business ethics or only zealots will be left to buy products.

and Ben Hermans... I might not be a lawyer but I got an advice that works far better than mouthing of here at ann: Stay clear of trouble and just produce the goods for papers and users to evaluate and you might have more users to buy your product than just the hardcore hyperion/ai zealots!
Everytime I see you posting counterclaims and spreading things that may be or may not be true of the competing party, it alienates me more from hyperion. If your company has nothing to be ashamed for, there's no real reason to get all defensive and hush, hush, for either. The truth will eventually come out in the hands of customers and magazine testings so you don't have to paint the opposite side as the devil's of amiga platform or whatever. Same goes for genesi aswell.
The problem is, 80% left of the community seems to be ppl desperately looking for a side to choose and that's why the dirty marketing policy that can be seen even coming from hypeion is a reality. :( The amiga market is now more DEAD than ever because of that, regardless of new hard and software on it's way.
The more bashing between companies and more childish war and fud, the more SANE people will LEAVE this godforsaken platform forever never to look back. I for one am at the verge of doing so.

What I care about is quality of hardware, availibility of software, pricing and business ethics and image of the host company providing the goods. PERIOD! I don't give a flying bat's turd if the 'NextGen' amiga had IBM or even AMD stamped all over it as long as the price and hw is right.
Get it? It's about who provides best quality for your money, not about who claims to be the 'Real AMIGAN's' over the other. In the end to me none of the innuendo and bullshit that's been flying since forever between these companies matters to me. All I care is how good a deal I can get between my wallet and the product in question.

>>Why are you taking things so personnal
You confuse things here. I'm not taking this personal, I'm just pissed of the way these companies (and people) conduct their business (bashing the other company by making dubious claims in the hope of attracting more customers)
I don't know about you but for me that can be very tiresome read and certainly does not attract me more to their product. And btw. The problem is that I do like my a4000 cybppc200mhz, cybvision, 128 mb ram etc. But, I paid shitloads for it and yet it's far less usable for doing things than a 450 celeron machine with windows and 128 mb of ram! So I kinda was hoping I could finally do something useful in the spirit of amiga by opting to the new hw that's on it's way.
People here fail to see that to not all amiga is not just a geek hobby. To some of us it's a way of hoping to get back to a long lost platform because we like it more than other platforms available. Fact is that as long as amiga is super inferior in terms of hw and software it will never be more than just a geek gadget.

I though you said not long ago that AmigaOS 4 was about only 90% ready, and it will be ready for Christmas 2002.
Am I wrong?
Are you also saying that using chips from another company to build and design a motherboard is the same as buying a ready made evaluation motherboard???
Are you affraid of the fact that if you and your colleages want to sell a motherboard now it will need a fix designed by your competence??? And this is the reason why all of this row has started???
Please clarify.

I prefer Gensi.
Not only because I think pegasos/mos is the best solution, but because I see they care.
They are doing something very important to amiga. Phase5 brought amiga PPC and gfx accelerators, and now genesi continues this line.
For a second forget what you were TOLD and LOOK what you have.
There IS pegasos NOW.
I could touch it myself :) [and I'm buying it]
T-f came to Poland (where I live). I really respect them for this - cost of this trip and show must have been much higher than their profits from polish market.
But they came anyway, because they INVEST in this market!
And as far as I have seen Amiga Inc only TAKES money from users (believers!).

I'm confused. I read up to post 61, and will continue to read the rest.
I think the real "bad guy" is that loser corporation motorola. They've led us down the toilet.
Why? They abandoned the 68000 series. They could never produce CPUs that were the same MHz as intel. They were too busy making all kinds of other support chips, instead of concentrating on the all importantt CPU. They made a RISC chip, which is questionable wether it is faster than CISC. Especially if it can't keep up with the MHz of the competition.
So what did we get? A CISC chip, forcing us to recode the OS or, making it slower, because of emulation. Compiled code which is bigger than CISC code. And to kick our heads in one last time, no way to design a motherboard without glitches.
They've also made too many iterations of their chips, in a tiny market share that they had.
Who knows how many other things they blundered, that I don't know about?
I can't wait for them to go bankrupt, and IBM buy Amiga Inc. and produce 2.6 GHz PPCs and trounce the home computer world!
Thank heaps, you ba$!ard$!!!!!
Amiga! Betrayal from it's most important ally, motorola!!!!!!!!

To those who keep claiming that Bill and Raquel are spreading "FUD" or
"lies", maybe you could be a little more precise? It's a bit difficult
to have a discussion when nobody wants to tell what their problem is.
Something like this:
B&R say there is a bug in Articia. Fact: Ben Hermans never
experienced any bug, so it does not exist. Lies!
B&R say OS4 and MorphOS risk being crushed by Linux. Fact: AOS4
already sold over 2 million units. FUD!
B&R say there is no other fix for the Articia bug than the one Genesi
helped MAI developing. Fact: The fixed AmigaOnes don't make use of
this solution, instead Eyetech have replaced the Articia with an MMC
on the fixed AmigaOnes. Lies!

I seem to have really enough. The message posted of Alan really finished every potentil interest in A1 here. Ben Hermans adds to it with ppl calling an idiots without no particular argument proving him right.
Last few year are really sad. AInc., EyeTech and Hyperion discredited themselves thru various public affairs, statements and unfullfilled promises, that I wish some strong company would buy off Amiga and close the saga for the good.
The frustration is so strong here, that I actually think of talking to my colleagues and our new company distributing Pegasos here in Czech Republic. Not that we would eventually sell any, but because of level of communication of Thendic vs official Amiga group companies.

100% of them.
The Amiga triumvirate have agreed to pretend that there's an "Amiga market" and measure sales as a percentage of that market, thus guaranteeing that they'll be able to "dominate" the "market" since they've clearly defined it to only include the things they exclusively sell.
Of course there are cracks... Eyetech have admitted that they won't stand behind AInc's special "offers", and Hyperion are clearly interested in selling OS4 even if that means working with vendors other than Eyetech, AInc are only interested in the outcome in so far as it results in income.
So sooner or later the whole thing will fall apart and they'll go back to squabbling, but I think all parties want to see a PPC Amiga before they do that, so it will last until perhaps OS 4.0 is "finished" or next summer, whichever comes first. Don't expect future OS 4.x to actually happen though, that would be stretching good will too far.

They don't fully believe in the success of AmigaOS4 so they're also working on a backup plan, promote LinuxPPC... why? Because they can do ports of x86 games to a platform where nobody can run the original Windows version (and also can port to the Apple Mac)
Ben Hermans and their troupe socialize the Amiga community in... Surprise! Their own interest??? Exactly the same for what they are criticizing MorphOS.

I think that everyone is missing a very important point here.
Bill Buck is saying, If you don't go my way, I will throw a wrench in the whole Amiga community.
If you want to buy from a company that tells you, you must do this or you must do that, go right on ahead.
Amiga Inc have been nothing but professional in this whole time.
You don't hear them trashing Pegasos and MorphOS.
The only time they said anything was when they were attacked publicy, and that is honorable.
The point that we are missing here is this...
It doesn't matter which is better, or which is worst.
What matters is CHOICE!
I don't run WindowsXP because they give me no choice.
They tell me what I must do and what I must not do.
Sound familiar?
I don't own an Amiga anymore because I got sick of all the hardware addons and patched up software.
To me, the Pegasos is just like having a ppc Blizzard all over again.
Non standardized hardware.
To me, MorphOS is like having a bunch of software patches all over again.
That's exactly what I got rid of my Amiga for.
When I seen the progress on AmigaOne and OS4, I knew that it was the machine for me.
But this is not a post against MorphOS and Pegasos.
It is a choice that I have made.
And now Bill Buck is saying, you don't make the choices... I do.
Well guess what Bill Bucks...
I might as well go ahead and buy windowsXP if I don't have a choice in what I want to do.
Amiga Inc has not tried to force anyone to buy their AmigaOne or OS4.
They want you to buy it, so they make it as attractive as possible.
But they give you the choice of what you want to do with your money.
Excuse me MR. Bill Bucks, but you don't tell me what I'm going to buy with my money.
I tell you the way I'm going to spend my own money.
That's the way that it should be all around the world.
Hats off to Amiga Inc. for being so coolheaded about all the recent attacks against AmigaOne and OS4.
It means choice baby, and I'm in there.

Oh yeah,
I almost forgot...
Please don't let all this hyped up junk make you forget about what Haage and Partner did to Burnie.
Always be trying to think of a way to help this fellow out.
And don't let people try to make you forget about what is really going on in the community.
Hey Bill Buck
How ya doing?

Yay! Hats off for our favorite amiga.org retard, "mounatinmyst" (sic!). This just has to be him! It's not Shawn-the-bus-arch-troll's IP address.
Standardized hardware? Telling you what to buy? Throwing wrenches in the community?
MY GOD you're confused! But funny. Keep it up.

You're just an asshole Randy, and you'll never grow out of it. For your information courthouse and INS are two different things, in second place I don't have a visa, I have a green card. Eat shit!
