Hyperion: "Halloween special double-treat for the Classic AmigaOS"

[Rob]

:hammer:crazy April fools stuff but it's October:)  If this just isn't a superficial money grab I'll happily treat my classics to a new WB & kickstart (hmmm though I assume they'll be selling REAL kickstart chips for us REAL classic users)

If you already have 3.1 it' not worth bothering.  It's more for people upgrading or using emulation and FPGA based systems.

Where's the sense in it? Cloanto is providing these ROMs since ages and has provided a few updates. 68k is actively maintained by Cloanto. No need for Hyperion in this domain. Splits the market even further and I doubt it's perfectly legal.

I think it's covered in the settlement with Amiga Inc.  They even sub-licensed the source for the IDE driver to Individual Computers.

I don't think the updates from either Hyperion or Cloanto are significant enough to cause any kind of split.
