A bit like buses, and I think a third one is not far behind. Maybe even a fourth eventually.

 Re: New Hardware Designs and New Hardware Coming from ACK...
So we just need to know the final specs, when and how much!

With their trackrecord (goes for both companies) I would have expected some pictures aswell. I'm still a bit sceptic about this but really really hope Amiga begins to deliver on their promises.

I don't hope this means the SAM board won't be granted a license, as more hardware can only be a good thing.

Congrats to ACK and Amiga...When they deliver!

Good news, but where can you read about the support of AmigaOS 4 for this hardware resolution?

 Re: New Hardware Designs and New Hardware Coming from ACK...
So Amiga Inc. made a deal with ACK, and Hyperion with ACube. Hmmm...

I wonder if both alliances will produce hardware for OS4, and not some other OS like OS5 or AmigaAnywhere. Hmmm...

It is strange that they don't say anything about Hyperion or OS4 in the press release.

Well I'm waiting to see what turns up later this week on their website before passing any kind of judgement.

We'll see soon enough I guess.

Wow, a lot of news coming lately. Might it be the end of the long drought? What's next, an announcment of some thing like the "Blue Man Group"" marketing tour for Amiga??

 Re: New Hardware Designs and New Hardware Coming from ACK...
the press release is all about hardware. nothing is mentioned about software. maybe it cant be mentioned due to the legal 'stuff' going on, so when that is sorted then either amiga.inc or hyperion can sell it.

also, as an after thought, as amiga.inc have done things like buy up dev companies in india, and sponsor a building in kent USA, maybe other companies see them as being a big company, and are more likely to allow them access to software and hardware specs, like things that were in the power macs, and drivers for gfx cards. if they can get access then adam can get access.

helge mode on..

x1800 radeon card with duel G5 anyone?

heh

 Re: New Hardware Designs and New Hardware Coming from ACK...
I think this puts Amiga Inc again in some positive light, I started question if they where capable of making contracts.

I can understand way ACK did go quite, and I?m where interested in what kind of hardware they have in there pocket.

The press release mentions the "Amiga operating system". We just don't know if this is in agreement with Hyperion, because they are not named in the press release.

I wonder if one of these "products" was the PPC prototype Bill was going to show at Amiwest, before he had to cancel due to his son being hit with an Ice Hockey puck.

Didn't Bill mentions in his 20 questions that they (Ainc) were talking to two company's about and that Troika wasn't one of them.
That leaves ACK, and Acube in my humble opinion.
I certainly wouldn't go looking for any Hyperion vs AInc type opf battles, because they need each other.
I think both this, and the ACube/Hyperion, announcment are good news for our beloved platform.

I eagerly want to hear news regarding Amiga OS 4.0 and its future. Although new hardware is nice it really is only 1/2 the system.

The future lies that way (imho), at least high-end-wise

Regardless what it's gonna be, the news are great. The more the merrier.

 Re: New Hardware Designs and New Hardware Coming from ACK...
Lets just hope that Amiga, Incs lawyers and Hyperions Lawyers come to a sensible decision. ACK and Amiga, Inc. are American, right? Hyperion Entertainment and ACube are European... Its not exactly rocket science to cross polinate and have Hyperion and ACube distribute OS4 in Europe, Africa and Australiasia along with ACube AND ACK hardware and Amiga, Inc. do the distribution of OS4, and the hardware in the North America, South America and Asia.

Its not hard is it? Can they not share? grrrr!
