A rough transcript for this clip.
Keys
INV = Interviewer
BMC = Bill Mc’Ewen
==========================================

INV: A wonderful product that could just, make wonderful inroads into the community and others outside the community, was just a bitter war, what is going with on with that and can you tell anybody out there.

(Overlapping)

BMC: Well. Sure,

INV: Is it resolve?

BMC: No

INV: this is not resolve yet

BMC: this is just bunch of nonsense, it just pisses me off. This is one frustrating stuff  I have to deal with on a daily basis, the childish. I will like a dad so often with this people and (???) children. It is very frustrating.

We were negotiating a deal with a group, would I call the “Amiga x86”, they call it Amithlon, Ah

We were moving with those contracts, at same token you have Hagen Partner showing of another product, we knew nothing about.  That they developing on their own. And there was great concern that this would split the community by have two separate offering. Then there are those who felt Amiga shouldn’t offer x86 product because it was going to disrupt what was going on out there.      

And so what we did, we work out a deal with the folks… Bernie and their group, so they could do a deal with Hagen Partner. So you can have a finish solution with both products in there. We negotiate the contact in earnest, we work it out what we though it amicable agreement and it was not signed.    

???product got there at shipping, ??has not signed.

(White flash)
Bernie happens to notify me, he got rid of his other partners because they had not delivered the ??code to him. And He wanted to know IF he could have a licence directly. And the answer is; of course he is.

We don’t have licence with other people, A licence is available; what’s interesting is that he executed the exact same licence while the other guys didn’t.

This is how, It’s clean, it’s no rocket science here, you ship we get X and thank you very much.  

INV: So Bernie can legitimately develop this

BMC: Yes

INV: and we have a tangible product out there,

BMC: Yep

INV: they could build Amiga x86 systems, and, and that’s going to happen now.    

My understanding, there are some health issues occurred for Bernie, back in Australia, but he has a signed. In fact he was so worried about have signatures, just making sure he was so legal, He wouldn’t accept just the Fax.  

We had to express him the original signatures on the contract and he would trun around to express them back to us.

End of section 1… I may post section 2 later in the day.
