"MAI - as has been said many times - are a fabless chip manufacturer who also
own the Teron design. They do not make boards. In the past MAI have
commissioned the building of boards in sample quantity boards from a third
party prototyping company (a sort of far eastern DCE on their good days) and
we have bought some of these boards from MAI to ship to developers. But for
any sort of producton volumes we have to contract directly with an
independant board manufacturer and clearly this involves a significant
volume and therefore upfront financial commitment."
What fab is responsible for the MAI chipset? Who is the FAR EAST manufacturer of the Teron motherboards?
"Contrary to what has also been speculated, there is certainly no requirement
for us or end users to pay a licence fee to Terrasoft for any AmigaOne board
whether used for running OS4 or Linux."
Who actually started this?
"I'm sure the ann orcs will try to make something sinister of all this, but
we, and Hyperion, really are doing our best under very difficult
circumstances to deliver the best, most cost effective, genuine, Amiga to
date."
Yes, orcs on ANN. So is that really Fleecy Moss, or an Orc *pretending* to be him?
In a rare move.. Darth_x breaks out into a song sounding like Dr Evil...
what if Fleecy Moss was one of us....
blah... blah blah.. blah blah blah blah...
