Power Design Details from ACK Software Controls and Amiga

[Crom00]

I dunno sounds too good to be true...

Guys I hate to burst a bubble...IMHE unless the motherboards are completley tooled and ready for manufacturing we're going to have to wait at least 90 days before manufacturing starts.

Then another few weeks for assembly and delivery to retailers...

That's a conservative estimate.

I base my commnets from IC development & manufacturing projects I've worked on for electronic toy manufactuers. At best I expect "Summer" to slip to early to mid fall...

Given Amiga Incs history of passing up Golden oppurtunites like "Amithlon"... a product that could well have been placed in mass market retailers, I'd file the announcement under BS alert...

But I hope I'm wrong. :roll:

Regarding backwards compatibility... It's uncalled for that Amiga0S 4 can't run all my LEGACY amiga software.

This is especially so when I can run most all my Amiga 500-to AmigaCD32 games quite well on a modded XBOX armed with 64 megs of ram and a paltry 700 mghtz pentium 4 celeron using a port of a public domain emulator.

We have become so used to third rate software haven't we? Look at Mac OSX... A G4 graphite can run OS9 to OSX Tiger applications. I'm not even going into the whole Universal binary code that can run on both PowerPC and Intel hardware.

With all the time spent on Os4 Development we  should  have an os running on multiple architechtures, Legacy emulation, and (at last) a native legacy compatible flicker free display.

I think it is unlikely Amiga Inc. are actually intending to release Hardware or Software... It's more likely (given their history) that this is an attempt at deception to secure more funding.

It's sad really, even in it's current state, the Amiga brand could work well with a Jakks Pacific style TV game project...

Any lawyer or licensor worth their weight will abandon all hopes of such projects after examining Amiga Inc's track record.

The non refundable license submission fee is a joke.
