What happened to the A600 accelerator by Schoenfeld?

[TiredOLife]

That fact that I can type this, is down to one of Jens products.
Not having a go at Jens but genrally someone producing products in the past is no guarantee of producing new products in the future.
Jens comes across as a good guy and I personally would be inclined to trust him.
I just made the above comment because Elbox for example, have produced a few products over the years but a lot of people would say the Dragon and the Shark are vapourware and will never see the light of day.

Jens IS a very busy guy, but he also seems to be honest and friendly, giving a more personal touch to things which is something you don't see very often these days...

Elbox has kinda proven to be quite a sneaky company with various things, but you never know, the Dragon may one day appear somewhere to buy, not just in some machine at a show..

That's just plain trolling.  I (like many others here) have a couple of Jen's Amiga products.  He makes good, solid and reasonably prices products (unlike a lot of other individuals).

thats not trolling either. thats just my opinion. this is an open forum you know.

everyone blaming Jens projects/jobs, is a total .... mhhh, i can't find the right "polite" term for it.

yeah i have several of jens products for my a4000. he seems to be better than the rest. but you know what i mean in a typical scenario when someone announces a so called super product/design and it'll never see the light of day. if there would be a rerun of amiga hardware in the future i would recommend a1200/4000 accelerators and some gfx/sfx cards like piv/cv64(/3d)/prelude/delina etc - they seem to be rare and expensive on ebay.

In contrast with the competition, Jens Schoenfeld releases products. I guess he'll be busy working on the clone-A, I saw it working some months ago and it's great.

A600 accelerator is obviously not as prioritary, but it will be released.

And I would like to add that he's not just a great engineer but a very friendly person, so stop throwing mud to one of the few people that actually does something.

E3B and Individual Computers are the only ones who are designing new hardware for classics, so respect them!

at the end of the day its just my opinion and i'l stick by it. i'll believe it when i see it.

[Akiko]

It's not what you said but more how you said it!  :lol:

Ofcorse your entitled to your own opinion  :-)

[therail]

the way i said it is just down to us amigans being pissed around in the past. everyone on this forum can relate to that

Jens doesn't have a past track record of not delivering.

He provides a significant preportion of our stock and delivers on every project we commission.

Others may have previously not delivered, but Jens should not be put in the same category.  The work he is doing at the moment pays his bills therefore takes a priority.

Jens has got one of the most realistic way of dealing with hardware making for the amiga and dealing with the scene than any other company or person I know of..He has always more than one project going and never rushes into anything, that's why he's also pretty carefull when giving dates of things to come etc.

I mailed with him this winter and he said the project (a600 acc.) was going fine but that he had so much to do that it would'nt be finished right away, then later he gave sort of a releasedate for the accelerator, supposedly for release this summer. This isn't happening i'm pretty sure, but I would guess it will be released within this year.
OFCOURSE, there is a chance it will never be released.

I know for one thing that Jens does not like to get e-mails, forumposts or chatroomquestions twice a day on the matter of when his projects will be finished; as he said to me in one of the mails I (almost regretably) sent him, "answering mails etc. just makes the projects go slower".

So the best thing to do would be to wait and see, like always

Does anyone know what is happening with Clone-A.

***HOT FLASH***
BELOW IS WILD SPECULATION

It looks like the only game in town now that we suspect Scamiga, Inc have killed minimig.  :-(  R.I.P.

**END HOT FLASH**

Haven't heard about this, how could The Name killed minimig? I thought he had released his hardware developement under open source?

This wouldn't be the first time Colin's over-active imagination has got the better of him.

I think Oliver and Jens are still working on it. However, Jens is currently also very busy with the Viprinet project (not Amiga-related).

Creating unfounded rumours, eh?

No, this is wild speculation.

But it's funny how Minimig seems to have been in stasis since  I think I heard somewhere that Dennis spoke with Scamiga.  :lol:
