Me too. It never installed on my machine. Amiga support at the time responded that I needed updated drivers. They asked me to sign some sort of a non-disclosure agreement, which I did and faxed back in. They never responded and never gave me access to their download page. I finally sold my copy on eBay.

Yeah, I have to raise my hand here. I played around with the SDK for a while and then then box ended up in a storage box in the attic.

Why did it become AmigaDE, is that for Dead End?
