Well its probably not in Jens commercial interest to share this technology.

Now where are my chilli bean fries???  (Had them in Korea super yum miss them!)

Yes its nice to dream, but at the end of the day it comes down to money..  Sure it would be very generous and honourable to release much needed information into the community freely, but as you see alot of ppl llike to make money from the community as well.   So if the information is held back thats one way to protect Jens business against any future competitors.

Haha!  I dont know how we got from Jens please release the Apollo documents to French Fries...

Maybe if we give Jen's a 1 year supply of french fries he might release the Apollo documents  

You know it would be very funny if Jens was eating french fries at this moment..

I dont know how this thread degraded too, but if users think that they can petition a company to release something they paid good money for to bury its rather silly to begin with?

A petition will probably only work if each user puts a small amount of $$$ to finally make up a large amount of $$$ to purchase the rights to the documentation from Jen's *if he wishes to sell it in exchange for money*

If all Classics lovers give only 10 €, we can reach a beautifull jackpot. For me, I'm ok to give 50 €...

Well theres 23 ppl who have signed the petition..

I would think at least each person puts in 80 € then thats an amount of money that might start to make someone pause and think?  Dunno but with all classic users they would prefer to get documentation for free close to nothing..

I think that would be a tough sell  having it all bundled in as one lot..  Might be better to sell one at a time.. If the fully populated one sells, then assemble the next one and sell and so on.   besides the pcb is easy to make for the homebrewer..

If you're all so happy about open hardware design, why not create an open accelerator design project?

Asking people to give away their investments for free rarely leads to something.

Beyond adapting a 020 cpu as a simple accelerator its pretty complex to hookin any CPU faster than that..
