Big Book of Amiga Hardware?
« on: December 28, 2005, 12:39:07 AM »
Just ordered a new mobo for my miggy 1200, and was thinking of getting an accelerator for it.  So, I pointed my browser to BBoAH and found this:

The Big Book of Amiga Hardware

Firstly, apologies for the previous message. It was written as a quick placeholder in the early hours of the morning and I needed to sleep. The site has been taken down because I received a copyright violation notice from the author of a driver. Perhaps it was foolish of me to offer such things for download. The site has always been non-profit, is ad-banner free and has cost me a lot in the 7 years it has been running in both time and money. It is also the product of hundreds of contributors who have taken the time and effort to send submissions. It's for these reasons that I would like the site to return, however I need to decide whether it's worth the risk and if so what alterations need to be made.

- Thanks, Ian.

Update

Thanks for all the support guys. It seems I need to clarify a few things :-). There have been many requests asking who issued the notice, however I feel this should be kept private. As far as I'm aware they do not work for any currently active Amiga related company. The offending driver was deleted immediately upon receiving the E-Mail however I chose to take down the entire site to review the content, in an attempt to avoid this happening again. I may also need to review how I handle submissions.

I hope things work out and BBoAH will be back soon!

I understand Ian if its too much to deal with though.

Good luck!!

Wow, these topics are growing in number... I thought my news topic (my very first one on here, btw) had already covered all of this.
- Doc

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -
