Hyperion bankrupt?

[wawrzon]

Hyperion posted a new blog today. Interesting stuff. Doesn't act like a company that's "out of business". Just glancing at it since I saw it pop up on Google+, thought I'd throw it out here for you guys to chew over.

 

for me they have not acted much like a "company" at any time, in or out of business, but now surely its important to give an intact impression. we have still some days left to see.

if they survive long enough to make it work and it might set precedence for other AOS like platforms.

depending how you define the precedence. apparently arix, an unseen derivate of aros has set a precenedce on it some time ago. and knowing some devs who achieved it, especially jason i trust it being a fact.

the other thing is how much of advantage it is when actually implemented. since it isnt of any actual use but rather a handicap for software available so far, it sounds rather like a technical excersize, a proof of concept, if you will. same as the extended memory support os4 seems to provide beyond the 2 gig barrier or the x-core chip. stuff someone has put effort into and you like to read about, but will never use.

Isn't that still a secret tease-only project?

same as os4 one so far.

I tend to ignore stuff like that (Natami, various FPGA projects) until I have the potential to actually try them myself.

Not that I'm not interested, but it's vaporware until it's available.

except when it actually bears some fruits like vampire board and the gunnars/jens/whomever core, maybe not a direct successor of natami hype, but definitely something people can get their hands on just now, even if i cant yet, not having an a600 anymore.

Yes Warp3D is now acquired by A-EON.  We hope to invest in this further for Classic Amiga- up until now, development has been stagnant for many years.

Ths for clarifying. I might be able to provide some testing, while hardly recalling anything from times back, as matt, alain and bernd tried to improve what we had without any support. Im not signing any ndas though and would strongly advised others not to.

@terrminills
are you going to tease us without end or are you ever going to release some stuff or at least some honest and precise information one day? you are of course entitled to whatever you like, as hyperion is, but these tactics look a bit too comparable for my taste.

ah, so arix is freely available for download? didnt know that. gitorious branch doesnt seem very active. outta interest, is it possible do boot it from an usb thumb to see what gives? i think if people got in touch whats up, you could get some actual interest, feedback and therefore some current and even contributors?
