Phase 5 Digital Products comeback?

[yssing]

If it is real and they are not just another group able to use the name a lot of questions from some of us that lost a lot of money when they went out last time are going to come up. I know I lost about $800 in the pre orders for the G3 boards that were going to be released and I lost a CSPPC that was sent in for repairs. Lots of others in the same situation. I never expected to see that again, but the way some of this community reacts I could see things get ugly. I hope thats not the case. I would donate that same money if it meant they come back building things like they did in the past!

I am afraid those money and items are long gone. Most likely it's not even the same people, some of them might be, but who knows.

In any case, if they truly are making a comeback, then I do welcome it, they did create some really good products.

One thing is clear. Without leadership and goal in development of AmigaOS, software and hardware for it NOTHING will "change". There is no particular goal in sight, there is only whole bunch of old Amiga users tweaking old systems with some sort of nostalgia that makes them do it.

What do you think A-Eon and Hyperion is doing?

[yssing]

You misunderstood. My comment was in reply to "What do you think A-Eon and Hyperion is doing?". Those companies aren't doing anything I'm interested in.

I really respect that position. Personally I am more interested in AOS4.x and its hardware. However if the new Phase5 could make a new batch of PPCcards for the classic I would be very interested.

Agreed. I can respect your interest without sharing it as well.

We should just be glad there is a potential overlap so that some advances can help us both.

That is absolutely true.

Why not just embrase it, we are used to seeing things not happening. But if you try to be positive, rather than negative, life in general will be a bit easier.
If it does not happen, then so be it, but at least we haven't lost anything.

I've seen more than my fair share of scams, failed projects, and twisted jokes on this site to know another one when I see it....ACK Controls, ARIX, etc.....now this "new" Phase 5.

I hope I'm wrong but the past makes me very cynical.

No one is asking for any money, and even if some one was asking for money, no one have give any money away.
