MOS guys were offered a position with the OS4 team but rejected it because they were quite happy with their rebellious amigawannabe MOS system. At no stage was MOS ever considered for the future AOS.


You should really check your sources !!

Back in early 01 when AInc had their "earthquake" MOS was
seen as the best/easiest way to get OS4 offground and a
deal was agreed. All was fine until a well-known lawyer jumped in
and chamged the contracts (has been admitted by Ben himself).

AFAIK Ben demanded that CGX would be replaced with P96 (why ??)
and that wider HW-support was promised.

Nothing really important, but when that wasn't agreed on the
contract suddenly changed to a point where AInc would gain full
control over MOS (including sources) without giving anything
substantial back.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Thats something I always demanded, even back in the glory
W3D/Amithlon-battle (a harmless joke/comment was enough to
ignite that bomb  :-( )

You do realise that the above is the most common, indirect way of calling someone a liar.


 :-?  :-?  :-?  Your statements was simple incorrect, and
thats no big secret, so instead of correcting you I should
have changed reality or what ?? Yes MOS was planned for OS4
by AInc, and yes your statement was simply incorrect.

Why was it incorrect ? None of my buisness !
