What is the current overview. I am not sure I have all the information, but what is now clear is that all the current amiga projects have hit the rocks, and there is little sign of a long term improvement. Perhaps its just me. But maybe not. I'll just go over the various forces at work here for a moment:

Amiga, Hyperion, Eyetech

External forces:

MAI

External development team

Lawsuit

Customer pressures

Current status: After a difficult road on the hardware front, and now a failure of supply on the part of MAI, the hardware side is at a standstill. The operating system development we are told continues. Now a lawsuit threatens both of these teams with a drain upon already limited resources. How very self destructive.

Genesi, MorphOS

External forces:

MAI

Internal pressures

Internal testing of hardware changes

Customer pressures

OS development lagging behind release standard.

I would regard both of these camps now as the primary projects that occur in the amiga 'sphere'. Both are now badly hampered by a single source supplier, and a lack of parts. It seems that despite both camps making claims, the production aims were always tiny (and thus you have to question some parts of the projects, but back to that in a moment) and production must have been small not to hit shortages earlier.

This does highlight the huge hit both groups are taking in development costs. Whatever the basis of their refusal to work together on their hardware, and thus the reduced possibility of producing in volume, buying parts in volume, and forming strong relations with suppliers, the true folly and stupidity of the selfish interests at work in the amiga 'sphere' are clearly at the fore.

While neither party has enough weight with their supply partner (MAI) it is far more uncertain as to the future supply of chips to either project. The inability to talk to suppliers in terms of bulk unit purchase and volume is and will remain a 'turn off' to suppliers. There is no chance whatsoever of being a tier one style customer if the most units you purchase are in the tens or perhaps hundreds.

In addition, my understanding (and I may be totally wrong on this..) is that MAI are less than happy with what their customers have published and squabbled over. Having your faulty product outed by a supplier is a less than ideal way of keeping good relations. Even now as I type, in every area of the amiga 'sphere' MAI are being universally blamed. Yet, perhaps its not quite true that this is all MAI's fault.

If the original orders were weak or small, its not possible for MAI to do correct production. They may have to work on guaranteed orders or limited FAB production time, and other factors.

Further to this, the (MAI) chip/set has had problems. Now these problems are well documented. But again, having seperate small projects posting information that is broken, or bit part shows the weakness of having the smaller weaker hardware development teams and all the limits that entails.

One simple suggestion to the two projects would be to work together on ordering with MAI if nothing else. By placing the bigger order you guys might get MAI to actually start treating you properly. Even then your orders may not be big enough to bring you to a sensible level.

Now, that aside, both projects are now being hurt badly by several aspects. These vary from customer let-down. Project time line failures, and lack of delivery.

The hopes of many a user were based on an idea that finally after a long time, two groups (wether you prefer one group, or another, or if like me you have some interest in general) was based on a premise that both were built and aimed (at least thats a public perception) on an ideal of being big enough to get something done, both in the OS sense, and the hardware sense.

Sadly we again have ego success over logic. None of the participants was capable of such a project. Both OS teams have pretty vast projects, that are in truth more than they can complete, at least in the short time-frame suggested publicly at the start of the projects.

Both hardware teams had large projects and limited resources. To be fair, both teams have produced, but look at what they are now working under. Due to the limited sizes of their production runs, the supply is at a trickle for key components. Neither party has enough weight to work with the key supplier to make things happen, and both parties are suffering badly as all the development is now not getting return investment via sales.

Further, consumer confidence is being annihilated by a lack of trust, and failures to deliver that is hurting both parties very badly. What is certain is that a lack of willingness to work together has caused part of this. The other downside is that to a large degree, production costs are far higher on both sides when refusing to work together. Its commercial suicide. What is worse is that with relations all around, MAI are or at least seem to be in no hurry to assist, and these parties continued war amongst themselves there looks to be little sign that a long term answer to increased production, supply and reduced purchasing costs for the end customer will be found.

And my thinking here, is that as an untimate cost to this, is that this factor leaves all the OS development shattered upon the broken landscapes of the amiga wars from the past. With now real hardware base, there is no software base. Even if there were, what is even worse is that both parties have been so stupid in terms of collaboration, that even if you did get a hardware base, that base is split due to differences about the OS. Show me a company anywhere in the world that activly looks to cull its possible customer base by 50%.

*Only in the amiga 'sphere' is it likely people can be so stupid.*

Right about now, both parties are, or will soon enough come to reason that they have or are failing, or will fail longterm. One escapee MIGHT be the ex Visicorp and phase 5 inspired people/project with a set top box style project that is there real focus anyway (or so they make out.)

You could see long term after the whole thing breaks one party taking most of whats left of the IP and using it elsewhere. But the likelyhood of an amiga desktop system will never ever return based on the current projects progress, and its all down to people having too much ego, and a refusal to work together for the benefit of even themselves(not just the end customer) is reaping the whirlwind.

It remains inconceivable to me that OS development and costs will be supported without hardware options, and sales. Therefore, some things MUST occur or this will mean the end:

1. The hardware teams/companies begin to work co-operatively (at least in supply of some parts and working with a supplier).

2. OS development dovetails into a cross hardware end user satisfying conclusion, and thus opens each vendor up into a 50% prospective larger market.

3. Customer care and general information is both more forthcoming and has a higher level of honesty, and a lower level of deceit, lies, fud, claim and counter claim. Also a keener understanding that even despite the cloud cookoo land mentality that they can do things by themselves, the amiga 'sphere' is as are all spheres, a sim-biotic sphere.

4. Competition can be healthy if its end product is the market 'sphere' growth. Competition that is damaging or causes shrinkage or damage to the market sphere is self defeating long term. Co-operation between competitors is _NOT_ALWAYS_BAD.

5. Customers, and potential customers ideally need to impress upon these teams/projects, that they MUST work together. They must demand hardware and software that both works, and is built with a level of co-operation and compatability. No developer in their right mind is going to double every area of work to try and sell their products on TWO OS systems, and different disperate hardware, dongles, DRM and protection rackets.

6. Longer term production, supply and end customer satisfaction must be renewed.

I would urge any customer who is interested in any or several projects to make it clear to these teams and projects that certain criteria has to exist, for them to be acceptable.

Unless the customers are more savvy than in the past, the customer will be a loser, as well as these project teams. You will again see the days of money being handed over to suppliers and non delivery/companies going bust, and all that goes with it.

Lastly, as I have recently said 'Trust no one' at least until they show why they are worth you trust, money or concern.

Kind Regards

Posted by Darren Eveland on 13-Feb-2003 14:12 GMT
Well...The AmigaOne is still in testing, with a newly produced XE board. There isn't much information on this available though. Still running Linux, as OS 4 for the Amiga One isn't ready yet. Many users are frustrated about the recent lack of information (especially those who have pre-ordered).

OS 4 for Cyberstorm PPC is also not ready, although said to be in "beta testing". There is a progress report in the latest "club amiga" newsletter, but it really doesn't say much. No release date has been announced, although many have hoped it would be March/03 or at least sometime in 2003. Details on OS 4 can be found on Amiga Inc.'s website. Some components of OS 4 have been demoed at a few shows but not on the AmigaOne, where only the Hyperion-enhanced BIOS has been shown.

Genesi's Pegasos is also not currently available. They are waiting on chips from MAI. People there (in general) seem to be less frustrated (with the exception of Mikey060) because there is much more open communications from Genesi about the situation and they have actually shipped a working board to beta testers and have MorphOS already running and demonstrated at many shows.

Amiga DE - no news there, really. Supposed to be out on various devices and also Microsoft has publically talked about the game packs. At least one new game announced by a software vendor.

Thendic is taking Amiga Inc. to court over breech of contract for Amiga DE.

Amithlon is in gridlock, no official releases in a long time. There is a contract dispute between the primary authors and Haage and Partner. No one is making any concessions and Amiga Inc. hasn't done anything, although in the Executive update from last year they claimed a new version would be "Out soon".

Wrong. Only Bill Buck blames MAI for his delays. Alan Redhouse never did that. And according to hints several subscribers of the A1-dev list posted to the public A1 mailing list, the AmigaOneXE boards may already have arrived at Eyetech.

The tests have been rerun, and the test programs have been changed (therefore I think he has updated the PetuniaTests.lha you can download from that page).

Well, I don't, I just checked the Trance results, whose URL was posted here on ANN some time ago...

@Christoph Gutjahr
Alan never blamed MAI because he is relying heavily on them (he distributes the whole motherboard designed by MAI, not just the Articia chip): if he didn't accept MAI's delay, he would have to design his own motherboard :)

Thanks to google cache ;)
main differences between the 13.2.2003 and the 3.10.2002 version:

new petunia version is 0.39 (old: 0.37)

new banchmakr machine added (A4000+Cyberstorm MkII 060/66, PicassoIV+Picasso96)

benchmark figures slightly differ

old:
When will the FPU work?
It is almost ready.
new:
When will the FPU work?
It is ready, up and running.

So the news is, that the FPU part is done now, as it seems.

... wonder how many users and developers have eroded away these last 1½-2 years awaiting the holly grail, while a real, fast and cheap interim solution existed.

"Some components of OS 4 have been demoed at a few shows but not on the AmigaOne, where only the Hyperion-enhanced BIOS has been shown."

Not strictly true, Hyperion have demonstrated their PowerPC kernel "ExecSG" running some simple tests on the A1 at WoASE, you remember it printed out claims about how fast the context switches were and that sort of thing.

Anyway, here's some food for thought: What happens if Hyperion did manage some time in December / January to integrate Petunia with ExecSG, and they found that a lot of serious 68K software either won't run that way, or runs as slow as an unexpanded A1200 ? There are a lot of scenarios like that which leave Hyperion in a very sticky place. So anything could happen.

They already know this. They always said that their chosen method is less
compatible but faster than other methods of implementing it. Also if you read
the Petunia homepage they have not changed their implementation. I guess we
will see the first public demo, as said by Ben Hermans and Alan Redhouse, at
Cebit.

Posted by MarkTime on 13-Feb-2003 16:06 GMT
Some things don't have to be guesses, for example, Bill Buck said he ordered 400 chips from Mai this last round.

Yes, its obvious Eyetech was eyeballing the 'retro' computing market from day one, and wasn't leading a comeback of any kind....that is his business, the retro computing market. He doesn't think the CommodoreOne is going to take the world by storm either, he just makes a sustainable profit in his niche market.

All this nonsense about joining forces has to be proven first. There is really no difference between ordering 400 chips and 800 chips, so combining forces might not really have any impact at all.

I'm not saying it doesn't, I'm also not saying it does. I have seen many small camps join forces, and the end result to have a single small camp, still not large enough to do much of anything, but losing value and distinction for its members...

I am specifically thinking of small political parties that commited suicide by 'joining forces'....

All these assumptions really have to be tested. Did MAI ever say they give a huge bulk discount at 800 chips, but not 400?

I don't think they ever said such a thing.

As it stands, there are three possibilities:

1. Both Alan "CPU shortage" Redhouse and Bill "MAI doesn't deliver" Buck speak the truth. -> Eyetech doesn't have a problem with the supply of ArticiaS chips

2. Bill Buck lies. -> ArticiaS northbridges are available in sufficient quantities

3. Alan Redhouse lies. -> there actually *is* a very limitied supply of ArticiaS chips.

That means, if we want to discuss the shortage of ArticiaS chips and how to react to it (that's what AdmV did), we have to assume that Alan Redhouse is lying. But I don't think that's what AdmV wanted to say.

And if somebody wants to claim that Alan is lying, he certainly has to come up with more evidence than just "he's a clueless idiot selling second-hand boards that MAI can't get rid of otherwise" ;-)

I guess it depends about how many chips Alan is speaking. If he is speaking
about as many as A1 SEs have been produced then Bill Buck would be right.

I think there are Articias available ... the old ones that needs the April fix.

Hypothesis: How would Eyetech look if they delivered the A1's with old Articias and Aprils glued on to them after all things they said (FUD accusations, "there are no bugs", etc)? Better to wait for the new Articias with the bplan fixes hidden *inside* the silicon instead! But how would they explain the delays? Ah, lack of CPU's!

But this is only speculations of course ...

Some observations about Amiga:
- AmigaInc is updating their web pages ... there's a sign of life ... almost.
- AmigaOS4 localization's are being written and the petunia page got minor updates ... AOS4 is proceeding ... slowly but still...
- pictures of the NEW AmigaOneG4XE board were posted to web (there's the integrated audio + game port) ... so also A1 is proceeding
- pictures of dual G4 was also published

Some observations about Genesi:
- they are communicating with the community in a better way than what AInc has done since early y2000... they are blood & flesh after all. ;)
- the latest (?) MorphOS was released 9th of February ... so even if the pegasos is unavailable, the OS is proceeding ...

Now... would it be worth to book a flight to Cebit 2003, I just wonder?
