you'll be able to see the first prototypes of 2 boards developed by Troika: Amy'05 and Panda.


Wrong. Panda was not developed by Troika. The only thing they did was renaming it (and probably putting a Panda-sticker on it). :roll:

The Troika web site was announced our only product in development at that time(Amy05), at AmiGBG 2005 fair in Gothenburg, Sweden.


Is this supposed to be a sentence?

Because Troikas plan is to get a license. Just because they don't have one doesn't mean they'll never get one.


Agreed, but did you have a look at the IRC log?
Ethilza never really talks about specific hardware projects and in general he is very reserved with comments on any "new" hardware, or a port for a hardware project.
Heck, he didn't even answer the question if they are currently porting to **any** new hardware without giving **any** names. This could have to do with the current dispute with Amiga Inc.
Hyperion could fear that if they openly say that they are porting to a specific hw, that Amiga Inc.  would defiantly and stubbornly refuse to agree on a license for that project due to the ongoing dispute.

After the announcement of the "Italians" I start to get the impression that we will soon get "new hardware". Hardware that will hopefully run Linux.
Nobody knows if it will ever legally run OS4.

So after having presumably solved the "hardware" hold-up, a new problem surfaces that keeps us from buying odd and expensive hardware running OS4, the "new" hardware needs a license and somebody got to port OS4 to it in a situation where Amiga Inc. has very specific license-requirements and the companies are in legal dispute over the OS ownership. This doesn't make me particularly optimistic that there will be soon **any** "new" hardware running OS4. After all, this is Amiga. Oh well...  :roll:
