Amiga Inc, in 25 questions or less

[itix]

Why would Bill M be interested in this?

To get rid of Amiga Inc.

I have a question for Mr. McEwen.

Amiga Inc. is being blamed by the community for preventing AmigaOS 4.0 from shipping and moving to hardware platforms beyond those manufactured by Eyetech. As you are probably aware, key portions of the original contract were leaked which indicated Amiga Inc. has a buy back option at a cost which is likely significantly lower than what Hyperion has now invested in OS4. The community has since concluded it is in Hyperion's best interest to never ship OS4 final lest Amiga Inc. invoke the buy back clause. It has also been made clear Amiga Inc. still controls what platforms OS4 may or may not be ported to. Therefore, the community has lept to the conclusion Amiga Inc. is the bad guy preventing everything OS4 related from moving forward. How do you plan to address this naive perception of the situation and make Amiga Inc. a good guy?

Why don't you write him an email? You always said that you were in close contact with him and never had problems of reaching him.  :-?

Ah, so you know already the answer. :lol:

Will Hyperion add support for Linux device drivers to AmigaOS? This will help becouse there are alot of good hardware companies like NVIDIA that have driver(s) for Linux, but for one reason or another are unwilling to port their driver(s) over to the AmigaOS.

@fatman2012

Just a hint: Amiga Inc. can't "add support for Linux device drivers" because they simply don't develop AmigaOS. You should direct your question at Hyperion instead.

Just checking to see if people are paying attention...;-)

Hello ,Carl Sassenrath told me you are in touch on common project,giving no details and i am not a betrayer.But Rebol has achieved your goals,amiga os inspired Rebol is everywhere.Intent is based on java,why not using real amiga technology and replacing intent by Rebol vm?
So RebolDe anywhere?His language,your toolkit.
An example,Arcadia a Rebol game engine:a simple script interpreted by Rebol.

question for Mr. McEwen:

Is Amiga Inc. for sale, and for how much money?

Hi Mr. McEwen,

You know almost everything about everything that has gone on.

So, considering you're still taking part in this, haven't walked away, would you do this again, even if you know it would play out indentically?

(I hate to add this because it might affect his answer, but I ask because if he would do this again, and since he is still here, I think that that shows that we ALL should still be optimistic that something IS BIG going to happen. :-D)

I have a question:

Why now?  Amiga Inc pretty much divorced itself from Classics and OS4 over a year ago, exemplified by the simple indication on your website that for anything OS4 related, interested parties need to contact Hyperion.  Several parties have tried to contact you for licensing reasons and reported a total lack of response (not a "no" response, just no response at all).  Now, out of the blue, you show interest again.  What has changed, and if you are planning on supporting something other than the AmigaDE again, how can we know you're not going to just shut the door once more?

@Wayne

no idea if easy feasible but ... it would be possible to split the thread on multiple pages?

It takes too long on Amiga Classic systems.

Thanks

Pencils down everyone!

No more questions can be entertained at this time as the list has been correlated and sent to McEwen for his input.

You can see the list, exactly as I sent it to him at http://www.amiga.org/AIQuestions.php

Here's hoping for solid answers.
