Status report on AmigaOS 4.2 development

[koaftder]

The extra parts don't add much to the cost, its all cheap stuff. FPGA would be the most expensive, at around $10-$20 depending on which model it is. (product specs aren't very specific).

aCube manufactures PPC bords for industrial purpose, if they could manu. Lots of useless thing could be removed and make boards more cheaper.facture bords just for just for Amiga user, I would say that price would lower.

Everyone keeps saying that, but everyone has yet to find ONE person or company who bought one of those boards for any purpose other than amiga
os4...


No really, if people are using them for industrial purposes, where?

There are 150 boards for embedded applications that are 1/10th of the price. No one in their right mind would buy these for a manufacturing business, factory,automation, or any other industrial purpose. I CALL BULL**** on these being for anything other than running os4.

And nothing personal, I just call bull**** because people keep saying this but no one in how many years has been able to show me or anyone else
any company or even individual who used one of these boards for industrial applications. Sure maybe someone did, but its not a volume larger
then the volume they sold for os4 users. They won't release sales figures... or even any examples of people using them for their "so called" main purpose.

Why is that?

They're probably keeping their real business separated from the Amiga related crap. If they do consulting, they could be selling their kit along with their services and you'd never hear about it.  They have to be making money somewhere, I don't see how they could survive just from servicing the HyperionOS crowd.
