Nobody interessted what that is? Could that be the Coldfire project(s) ? Elbox ?


Neither are a company that gross over 1/2 million per year, so by Bill's own words he is not interested in dealing with them.

Which on a side note is interesting... Considering probably the last time Amiga Inc themselves grossed 1/2 million per year was 1994, the year Commodore went bankrupt :-?

Amiga Inc < 1/2 million per year
Hyperion < 1/2 million per year
Eyetech < 1/2 million per year
Any prospective licensee >> 1/2 million per year?
 
:lol: Sorry Bill, no wonder nothing is going on.

No money, no hardware. I hate to say this but seems McEwen knows what he is doing.


I don't rejoice in the death of OS4, which is what this seems to imply. I could very well be proven wrong, but I doubt it. There is a reason 2006 is almost over and 2007 will come as yet one more year with no NG Amiga. This market is not small, it's non-existant. No company that grosses over 1/2 million a year would bother with it. Hell most bedroom part time companies wouldn't touch it.

-Edit-
Come to think of it in 2003 Anachronism Industries was probably the top seller of Amiga hardware in the USA(world?). Hell our sales probably topped that of Amiga Inc's. But I assure you it was nowhere near 1/2 million a year and we walked away from it. There is no market. A new market would have to be created.

Now i hope it's true there some big name licenses for Amiga retro DTV style products. If it's mass marketted it could work.
