Amiga, Inc: Close That Open Hardware!

[Kronos]

This are your exact words:

"Genesi are the ones not allowing AmigaOS4 to be ported to their board...."

No I'm not gonna search the whole net for a few quotes, but you can
explain to my why the A1 cost more than a Teron from TerraSoft ?
Or how AInc is gonna make some money on this when the OS-licence
is free and they are getting very little for OS4 itself (according to Ben H.).

AInc should decide what they want:
a) Sell A1/OS4 as "full" systems, which limits them to HW-vendors
very close to them.

b) Sell OS4 for "every suitable HW" which is impossible with the current licence.

The Pegasos is Genesi's product, and they decide to whom they sell it
under what conditions.

OS4 is(will be) AIncs/Hyperion#s product and THEY decide how they are
gonna sell it. And not HW-vendors refusing to sign a licence.

But thats all just rethorics, cos the current situation allows
Genesi's market-share to grow, and it will be very hard for OS4
to compensate that headstart without compromising on the licence.

[Kronos]

It will only dominate the Amiga market IF no copies of AmigaOS4 appear this year.      

Or if Genesi show a working eclipsis.
Or if more MOS-SW appears than for OS4.
Or if Eyetech fail to deliever (again).
Or if MOS is vastly superior to OS4.

Sorry to rain into your parade, but Eyetech haven't developed
the A1 !! That has been done by MAI and the PPCBoot-team (with
some help from Hyperion).

When Eyetech tried to develop an A1 it only ended in a desaster
(the Escena-thingy). Eyetech are just a reseller, and that all
they gone be. Don't know if they are good or bad at this, but a
reseller is all they are.

Real Amiga-HW-companies are Matay,DCE,Elbox,Individual,E3B and even Genesi/bPlan.
