Troika Progress Report
« on: September 12, 2005, 11:49:01 PM »
Before we start...

We would firstly like to thank all those who have written emails wishing us luck with our project.   Its the enthusiasm of you, the users that drives us. Thank you!

Beta Testers
Many of you have expressed an interest in becoming a beta tester for the "Prometheus" motherboard. Rest assured, that we have been working this plan out. Please address all inquiries about beta testing to us, and not Hyperion, they have OS4 to finish, and we all need it done.
 
Sales/Dealers
Again, we are overwhelmed by the interest expressed by many dealers and individuals about selling our product, we apologize for not returning your emails, We haven't forgotten you, but our total focus currently is getting the new motherboard completed. Rest assured, we will be in touch.
 
About the "Prometheus" Board
The place to visit on September 24th, Big Bash 3 UK.
We look forward to showing you more of our design and hope many of you can see one of our prototypes at Big Bash 3 and the intro of our web site.

Troika
YNWA!

Perhaps this question is a bit premature, but any estimate on cost so we can start saving pennies?
- 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 -

I'm feeling more confident about this thing than in my previous post about it. Hope to see some details soon!

I don't know, you tell me :-?

I was just asking; Just by way of the way the news was posted, it seemed as if you were privy to the information before others, so out of curiosity I was asking if you were part of the project...
I like Amigas

As I have admitted elsewhere, I am on an internal mailing list for Troika. Yes, you may say I am biased.
I am also very excited at the prospect of a low cost Amiga compatible board running OS4.
YNWA!
