But are you sure that is vapor? That link looks like a product review :-?


I dont know, I was hoping someone here would say if they ever saw one... we all know that many things are "reviewed", but never actually marketed...

Hmm regarding ACK AmigaONE CPU Modules, there were supposed to be two of them.

My mistake.

Matrox Parhelia (G1000) for OS4

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/05/10/amiganauts_rave_over_matrox_g1000/

Ok, not really related, the card was released (it was?) and wasn't vapor. No OS4 drivers however...

Excellent predictions from mr Hermans, though.

Cripes! That's a lot of non-existent hardware.

HiQ Alpha System

Some more background:

The final steps would have seen AmigaOS being ported to Alpha CPUs.

QuikPak Amiga 40x0L Portable and other models.

Details here:

This stuff fell thru as QuikPak lost the bidding race to Gateway. More about that part of the story:

What was the name of that motherboard the Freiden brothers said they would hand solder themselves? Did it have a name :-?

Maybe it is not fair list vapourware add-ons (accelerator cards, gfx boards, sound cards and other crap) with complete motherboards and computer systems.

Yeah, there's too much vapourware add-ons... or maybe separate list for them :)

But would be very interesting to see some dates. Maybe year of the first announcement and year when developer last reported about the hw or the project was officially closed?
