Who cares if they didnt design it? I dont. Do you think anyone cares? The fact is, they wanted to bring the Amiga community quality hardware, and they did.
I dont see any problems if they had designed it or not. I think Eyetech diserves all the credit they get. At least we've got a new computer to talk about now. Thats something we didnt have for 10 years (with or without OS4)
