From what I see whether you want to or not you function as PR to Genesi - always there to the defence, always there with Phoenix's spin on events when Genesi/MOS/pegasos come up as the topic of conversation.

To an extent it's in the interest of the Phoenix consortium to speak up when Genesi, etc. is the topic. This is because of the mutual goals of the two and the mutual benefits of working together. This has to be seen in the context of the failure of Amiga, Inc. to work in a mutually beneficial way with Phoenix, and the striking contrast in Genesi's style.

No company and no relationship are perfect, but it has been very nice to see a company not only with viable products being developed and marketed, but also with the awareness that the best way to work with an outfit like Phoenix is to be willing to give as well as get, to share resources, to seed the community, and  work cooperatively toward a shared goal.

Phoenix and Genesi aren't joined at the hip, and there are elements in each that don't necessarily find any benefit in the other, but there is a lot of symbiosis there for the "post-amiga" space.

The main point was that Hyperion's marketing stratagy with regards to OS 4 is not more restricted than Genesi's in fact Genesi won't even support existing hardware that MOS apparently already runs on.

Hold the phone, didn't BBRV already state that if someone wants to port MOS to A1, they would give assistance to whomever is doing the port?


I'm not sure about that, but may have missed something. MOS already runs on a Teron board, so the only thing standing in the way of it running on an AmigaOne is Amiga's firmware changes, right?

But it seems like maybe whatever plans Genesi might have regarding the AmigaOne could depend on the outcome of the court cases.

Beyond that I don't know what Uncharted is referring to. What exactly is Genesi not supporting?
