Why would you say that OS4 and MOS are "DOA" they are both being developed atm...

@ Wilse congrats. Thank GOD for this repair center. Amazing that Eyetech wont honor warranties on those $900 prototype boards...

Just because there is no "commercial release" doesnt mean an OS project is DOA this goes for both os4 and MOS. Though without a HW platform OS4 isnt looking promising for the future  (

@ Wilse

Well as you know even if it WAS within 12 months we all know that Eyetech doesnt honor the warranty. And I will add the bplan repairs peg boards free of charge well after warranty.... so bs that.

Its not bashing.. its called tired of A1 people posting falsehoods and correcting them. Thats not bashing its called telling the truth. Everyone hates Genesi and blames them for all kinds of problems but what about Amiga inc? They are the real culprits and they killed the Amiga not Genesi, not bbrv. And Eyetech, who I had lots of respect for not honoring warranties on 800 protoype motherboards is just PITA.

So, you are tired of it? You are "just" a user. Try being an Amiga dealer over 10 years and live with Amiga situation, see how you feel. Many people have given their livelyhood to this and have been crushed by the lies and mismanagment of the Amiga brand and company..

I was there when Bill Mcewen announced OS4 and said "on schedule and rockin'" and STILL NO OS4 Release! It doesnt infuriate you that due to a poor contract between Ainc and Hyperion that they wont/cant release it??

Not to mention all the mis/disinformation spread about MOS project and certain Amiga heroes like Ralph Schmidt and others...

"Wilse" or Dave P or whatever your name is...

You can sit there and defend Eyetech and Ainc all you want. They did not responsibly handle the Amiga market. There is no disputing this, regardless of what warped facts you want to present.

As a matter of fact A1 boards were selling for MORE than $800 in the US.

And yes, I'm a Bplan fanboy. I'm a "fanboy" of any company that goes out of their way to help users and honor warranties well past they are over. (Who does that?) Then, on the other side of the coin you have Eyetech who didnt honor any warranty at all.. so not that tough of a choice apparently.

You can call me "samface" all you want. The truth is I know Bill McEwen (even made him an Amiga tie), Alan Redhouse (has beers with him and Petro) and a host of other Amiga luminaries. Actually, the best chance the "Amiga" had was with Jim Collas and Gateway screwed that up...


This whole fiasco with Hyperion/Ainc vs Mos/Genesi was sad and could have been avoided. I actually have a magazine press release calling the Peg1 the new Amiga 1. If Ainc had made MOS "OS4" things would have been a lot different. Instead, they went with Hyperion and slung mud at some of the top level Amiga gurus we have.. just look at the names on the MOS team.. impeccable. And look at Bplan - ex Phase 5. Real amiga lovers. And what have you all done? Turned your backs on them and called THEM traitors. What a #*@) joke.

This is my problem. This is why I post like this. Alot of users dont know the real facts, just versions of the  truth people like you spread. It sucks
