Hehe, thanks. The dual-bladed saber didn't fit into the picture, so I had to dig out that old one ;-)
Sometimes giving away free boards helps.
Well, that was a different time. That trick doesn't work anymore. Not yet at any rate.
Did a company or individual come forward representing the CyberstormPPC and acquire a license, or was the decision to develop AmigaOS4 for CyberstormPPC come from Hyperion 'in-house' because of the installed base of users?
Work was simply started on the Cyberstorm because the AmigaOne wasn't available at that time, and because it is easier to do it on a hardware that is already supported by the 68k components. The installed user base is also a factor, which is still higher than for AmigaOne and/or Pegasos.
Isn't that a much brighter future for the Amiga market than what we have now?
There is no reason why this shouldn't work out, however, see Ben's explanation for the licencing scheme. I say again, I don't think it is in any way unreasonable, and from the replies I've seen I can only conclude that most people didn't know the details, or had a wrong perception about it.
