My first question would be:

- With your right hand on your preferred sacred book (Bible/Talmud/Koran/...), do you swear to tell the truth when answering next questions?

I posted some questions when last 20 questions were made to Bill McE. Unfortunately, because none had a real, achieved answer, they are still valid:

Re: Amiga Inc, in 25 questions or less

@Wayne

First of all, thanks for your initiative.

My questions to Mr. McEwen:

1. Does Amiga Inc. any plans for AmigaOS for desktop platform or will you focus only in AmigaAnywhere for portable devices? Do you still have any real interest in AmigaOS?

2. In your web page you say "Amiga, Inc. does not distribute or support AmigaOS 4.0.". Unfortunatelly, this seems to include AmigaOS 4.0 promotion... We have only seen news regarding AmigaAnywhere, but none regarding AmigaOS 4.0. Why Amiga Inc. has remained so silent regarding AmigaOS 4.0 promotion?

3. Will there be a future convergence between current AmigaOS and AA as one product or will they remain as separated products?

4. Do you plan to support in any way current AmigaOS user base and developers?

5. It was said any further AmigaOS version was going to be developed in-house by Amiga Inc. Is this still true? If yes, developing the OS in-house means a delay: new developers have to take and understand a work made by others -Hyperion-, so why not simply allow Hyperion to continue their good work? They are doing quite well, they have even done more than initially expected.

6. If Amiga Inc. takes finally back AmigaOS development, you will have to provide support for it and the means for its promotion and distribution. Any plans on this?

7. Hyperion has stated that they will not release a final OS4 version until there's real hardware to run it on, and that depends right now on licensed HW, so how many companies/individuals have asked for an Amiga license for its HW? How many of them finally got it? How many are currently active? If possible, coud you please give its names?

8. Will Amiga Inc. keep the made-by-others, licensed HW scheme or will you make any new HW?

@minuous

Where have you been these years? In a cave? ACK  worked for MAI in developing the A1 and has been also OS4 developer, in charge, for example, of eth3com.device, the device controlling the A1 ethernet connection:

Quote
2.OS4:> version eth3com.device full
eth3com.device 52.1 ( 8-12-2006)
(c) ACK Software Controls Inc.


For some months he has been developing some own HW projects, including A1200 add-ons and stand-alone boards.
