I must admit I love Amiga Fantasy case and the MCC case. I have zero interest in buying any X86 hardware unless it's a tablet, I just don't need it. Natami and SAM is all the interest I have. As for AROS, I'll run that when it fully supports my Toshiba NB100. It's not got far to go but I'm in no hurry.

How are you going to be supporting AROS?


By increasing the user base! Why the perception that if you put out a free OS you can expect everyone that uses it to support it in other ways too? (even if it would be nice that they did). I would be more concerned that Digiman could be considered an OEM making a computer with an "Amiga-like OS" myself, that could be an issue.

you would be interested in the case if it had different mounting configurations set up for x86 and sam... i think thats the way to go here.


Yes, I think that's the way to go. It is a very nice case.

AROS has enough OEM's that actually support the development of AROS not just milking it.   If we're going to hold one company to this standard we should hold everyone to it.


I agree. It depends on how the license is worded as to whether or not they are required to however. I'm sure you are more aware of the wording of that license than I am. I've not read which restrictions are placed upon OEMs with the AROS license. If it says that OEMs must support AROS in order to distribute it, well, that's what it says and then that's what must be. My question was:

Why the perception that if you put out a free OS you can expect everyone that uses it to support it in other ways too?

Perhaps I should have said:

Are OEM distributors of AROS OS based systems required to support AROS in ways other than just increasing the user base?

...that's what I was trying to find out. My bad for not thinking through my question before typing it. :)

Is Digiman hired by or anyhow connected to Amiga Inc? Has I got a license from Amiga Inc? Is him going to sell Amiga branded computers?

The answer to all these questions is NO, so there is absolutely NO PROBLEM in being a OEM making a computer with an Amiga-like OS.


Good. My concern was genuine, I would hate to see someone getting any legal grief just because of a genuine desire to help the community.
