Didn´t AHT Europe buy the rights for the Prometheus in order to produce their own range of Amiga cards ???

Found something :

"As of July 22nd, 2004, AHT Europe Ltd. and Matay signed an agreement providing licence rights for the PCI busboard Prometheus, developed by Matay for Zorro III Amiga systems.

The licence includes circuit diagrams, firmware source code, RTL8029 source code, prometheus.library source code, the programming device and developer documentation.

By this agreement, AHT Europe Ltd. acquires the right to freely modify and integrate the Prometheus design into new products."

and also :

"Ultra Spec will carry products for the 'classic' Amiga series of computers like the AmiVD graphics board, as well as the initial batch of A700 devices which is aimed at current and potential new Amiga developers for AHT Europe's new platform."

If the sale of a Z3-only board is suicide, then why did the Cybervision64 have so much success in A4000´s and A3000´s ???  :-?
