Merlancia and Genesi

[ikir]

From Merlancia homepage:

Genesi SARL is a Luxenbourg based technologies company specialising in PowerPC hardware and operating system development. They are the the result of a merger between bPlan GmbH of Frankfurt Germany, and Thendic France. Genesi is the firm developing the operating system "MorphOS", the operating system used on the Merlancia Amiga MCC and Merlancia Torro series of products.

Incredible!!! Merlancia and Genesi are partners!!!!!!! WOW! I'm shocked.....

And they are gonna use that cool case
MCC

I dont think this is anything to be surprised about.

Amiga related sites are notorious for being out of date and for listing half baked ideas as "done deals".


I guess It's all just wishful thinking.

Purely speculation on my part may I add

It may not be valid.

No, i visited Merlancia site several times and i never read it! It is new!

Also the date on the AmigaMCC realease is uptodate!

[CodeSmith]

Well, I guess that means we found out who Genesi's set-top box partner is  :-D

That said, I think it is a monumentally stupid idea on Genesi's part to associate themselves with Merlancia.  That name is pretty much synonymous with fraud...

NOTE TO TROLLS: I don't want to hear anthing about "So is Amiga Inc" or "Genesi are frauds anyway"

Until someone from Genesi confirms/denys this, it is just not worth taking too seriously.

Those release dates have been revised umpteen times before.

I wonder if they will sell just the case, monitor and a keyboard, if they do i would get one

Has Genesi really taken the initiative to "associate themselves with Merlancia"? Couldn't it be that Merlancia simply plans to buy a bunch of motherboards and put them into their own case design and sell them as "Amiga MCC Systems"?

That said, I have nothing personal against Merlancia, I think the design is cool, and I wouldn't mind a Pegasos in that appearance! :-)

But for obvious reasons I will consider this as vapor until it actually happens. ;-)

I wonder whether any ideas that came from A Inc that turned out to be vapourware continue to have their curse after the rights to that idea have been sold on? :-)

Umm... Wonder if bbrv will have a chance to comment on this?

Merlancia have a bad reputation i know, but i like it... woulb be nice to see some real products form Merlancia... but AmigaOne compatible would be better.

[takemehomegrandma]

but AmigaOne compatible would be better.

How big is the case? Is  there room for a full ATX motherboard with peripherals?

Merlancia has Genesi under "partners", and I'm pretty sure that's a two-way thing (ie I can't sell hot dogs on the street and say that Oscar Meyer are my partners)
