cooperation between chris and miachel has come to an end, so the chance for another usb board from e3b is minimal if not null.

Was it an amicable parting?

Well if you think that Deneb was out @ 2008 and it took 3 years for the stock to end... then what is the demand that could cover another run?

You mention it below:

Quote
Only pitty is for newly back-to-Amiga-scene members that don't have the chance for this magnificent hardware but eBay and outrageous prices. Old members should have grabbed  a Deneb all this time that they had the chance.

I think there are enough people returning, or enough people who didn't have a big-box machine at the time but now do, or enough people slaughtered by the financial crisis who have now recovered enough to buy one, to warrant another run. Things may take a while to sell, but they hold their value, as the absurd eBay market shows. (Meanwhile, you'd be lucky to get $30 for a 2008 PC graphics card.) Obviously someone with financial resources would have to commission a hypothetical Deneb run, as was the case with AmigaKit and the ZorRAM.

Quote
Chris also announced it almost a year ago!

You gotta admit, though, that message could have very easily been missed by would-be customers.



If it is true that the developers have had a falling out, that's very unfortunate for users and the market. I hope they can resolve it.



(Glad I got my Deneb when I did)

German only, but in this short interview with Chris Hodges (plus a statement from Michael Boehmer) both parties make it pretty clear that there will be no further cooperation between them. Hodges even rules out cooperation through middle men.

I don't get it why some takes so long working on something like the daVinci and then lets it go without releasing anything. I mean, putting another priorities on top of it, sure, but abandoning it completely after being almost finished ?!

Michael Boehmer of E3B told me there cannot be another run of Deneb because he and Chris Hodges have fallen out over something.

I don't know the details (and I don't want to, it is a personal matter and should stay between them), I've talked to both guys over the years and both are really nice people so I'm sure it must be something they cannot get past.

The result is that Michael can no longer license Poseidon. Without a software stack he cannot sell Deneb.

As we all know, "Silicon without software is just sand" and so Deneb is gone :(
