Jens Shoenfeld's anwer to the Apollo petition

[magnetic]

Well I warned you guys the petition would be useless. Its kind of funny to use a reason of instability of boards when some of the ACA line is unstable! That being said he owns the IP and paid a lot of money for it and can do what he wants. Its cool that he will provide the mach 131 chips as that is one of the main goals for petitioning is it not?

Oh and for the record I had an Apollo 030@40mhz that was very reliable and stable.

Seriously, some people need to grow up.  He's more than legitimized some of the arguments by agreeing to compromise with the sale of the MACH chips and ROMs.  IMNSHO the signers of the petitions are damn lucky he didn't simply say f-off tossers.

 
While I agree with you that its good that the Mach chips will be available due to the petition, I hardly thing that one of the remaining Amiga hardware manufacturers should tell potential customers to "f-off tossers" that is NOT good business. That kind of atittude i s NOT how you treat the community. (someone should tell some other amiga companies we know this as well)  Unfortanely with the level of fanboyism some amiga -ish companies feel like they can get away with bad customer support and products. We should just be grateful they are there. (even though we pay with hard earned money)

Mechy I wasnt talking about Jens specifically. I was adressing the comment "i would have told them to F-off tossers"

Also, I had a Toaster and amiga business with a public phone number. Believe me I know how hard it is to deal with amiga customers :0

And i wouldn't touch an apollo card with a bargepole (I have a blizzard though)

Why do you say this? Have you ever even owned an Apollo board or are you just formulating an opinion from reading forums?

[magnetic]

Now if Jens makes a better '060 card one of these days, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. :-)

We all wish that, unfortunately never going to happen..

As Individual Computers have implied the best outcome for apollo's is to remove the 680x0 chip and put the rest of it in the bin  

And I ask again have you ever run an Apollo board? To say to throw it in the bin is absolute rubbish (pun intended)

I would love an ACA1260 with SATA for my A1200, but I don't expect it anytime soon. .

In this case "any time soon" = "not in our lifetime"

Yeah my old Apollo MK3  030@40mhz was nice and stable.. dont know where this whole "apollo are crap" the funny thing is the guy who really started it on this thread never even owned one! lulz typical
