Hyperion bankrupt?

[Djole]

I'd pay for an updated 680x0 OS, yet that's not an option. They had an existing customer base, but ignored it in favor of moving them out of "old classic cars" and into cars designed for use ten years ago instead.

The business model makes no sense in that context, does it?

There has been a market here all along, but it's not the market they want, so they left the money on the table.

I would also pay for an "official" update of 68k OS3.9. It has the largest user base and could be made very usable on fast FPGA accelerators that are around the corner.

pay whom and for what is the question.

I wouldn't care much who made it, whoever has the rights to do so. There is much room for improvement in 68k OS3.9. OS 3.9 (and 3.5) was made after Commodore and most of users consider them as official update for AmigaOS do why not make 3.9.1.
