It looks like there's enough demand for another run, but I think the issue is one of parts availability.

Well if you think that Deneb was out @ 2008 and it took 3 years for the stock to end... then what is the demand that could cover another run?

You mention it below:

Only pitty is for newly back-to-Amiga-scene members that don't have the chance for this magnificent hardware but eBay and outrageous prices. Old members should have grabbed  a Deneb all this time that they had the chance.

I think there are enough people returning, or enough people who didn't have a big-box machine at the time but now do, or enough people slaughtered by the financial crisis who have now recovered enough to buy one, to warrant another run. Things may take a while to sell, but they hold their value, as the absurd eBay market shows. (Meanwhile, you'd be lucky to get $30 for a 2008 PC graphics card.) Obviously someone with financial resources would have to commission a hypothetical Deneb run, as was the case with AmigaKit and the ZorRAM.

Chris also announced it almost a year ago!

You gotta admit, though, that message could have very easily been missed by would-be customers.



If it is true that the developers have had a falling out, that's very unfortunate for users and the market. I hope they can resolve it.



(Glad I got my Deneb when I did)

Maybe users could cooperate to write their own USB stack which could be used with Michaels hardware?


Poseidon is open source under AROS, minus a few drivers. Would just need to backport that.
