Or is Eyetech out of business and doesn't produces any boards any more?


Eyetech has gone dark, I dont know of anyone that has talked to them in quite awhile.  The microA1 cannot be produced anymore.  Both ACK and Troika claim to be working on a board for OS4, but have yet to explain whether they have an OS4 license etc.  Both of there designs at this time will be slower then the MicroA1.   Peg2, Efika and of course PPC Macs are plentiful, but Hyperion is apparently too scared of a company (AI) that has missed 19 court dates to port OS4 to either of them.  Thats the shape of things right now in the OS4 community, hopefully things will get better, honestly they can't get much worse.

> 19 court dates

Is this true or just a rumour/scam/hoax?

Where is the source?

Where are the documents about lawsuit, dates, location and the name of the judge?


About AI and court??  Absolutely true.  Now I will point out that in private mail someone thinks that its 18 not 19, but fundamentally its true.  A large number of lawsuits have been filed against Amiga Inc, it has not shown up for any of them until the final judgement time in the Thendic vs AI suit.  The have lost lawsuits to at least two former employees Bolten Peck and Matt Fontenot (with several others waiting in the wings), there realtor sued and won twice, the state of Washington sued and won for taxes, a shipping company, a phone company, Genesi, all of these and more are part of the public record.   This has been discussed to death for years, why is it all new to you??

Contrary to what people have said here (I thought the same myself!) Eyetech is busy with new A1 hardware. I don't know when this will ship.

Where did you get that info Colin, enquiring minds want to know.

As for the children calling Eyetech names - What have you done for the Amiga lately?  :crazy:


Delivered the Open Source Video Toaster, which has a much bigger installed base then say the Amiga One.   Open sourced a bunch of my amiga video software to help the effort, offered to make fully working firewire ports for an OS4 port to the powermac, since I've already done it for another OS.

@Tig:

I wanna know how Colin knows this too.

I appear to have fried the cpu in my A1, after 2 years sterling
service.

Which A1 board, which CPU do you have and are you sure its the CPU on the cpu board and not something around it??  I'm just asking because if you've blown something little, I could probably fix it for you here, if you dont have other options.

OS4 on the Peg2 is my preferred route, although I appreciate that isn't likely to happen any time soon.

It would solve so many issues with OS4 now, I just wish they would bite the bullet and go for it.
