So what happens when Hyperion surprises everyone and supports Mac Mini G4, under cutting all of this Alt-Amiga stuff? They make the OS, not the hardware. Would it not be in their interest to sell copies of their OS?

Or is the money being made on the hardware-relationship with Acube? All very weird.

I think Ben Hermans wants to sell you both hardware and operating system.


Ah gawd, after reading, it's like they're pissing in the wind. All people want is a mac mini AOS4 machine. Why they go through all this trouble I can't understand. Just a few drivers and install issues away from Valhalla, so frustrating.

"A. To be honest it’s a labour of love for some of the A-EON founders (mentioning no names), however we still believe there is a real demand for high-end Amiga computers."

WRONG. How about one that just works good, and then we can talk about uber machines later. Crawl, walk, run, last I checked, was the way to get somewhere.

Yeah, but that was already done with the Efika (at a much lower cost).


Exactly. They are on some dark quest, it will all end in tears I'm afraid. I was reading the court exhibts, stuff in there about the mini, they were trying to go there at one point "to allows us to open up new markets"...
