@all

I suggest next time you contact Jonathan, who is still quite a regular in the community:
http://amigaworld.net/userinfo.php?uid=2962

He addressed their issues the last time something similar occurred in December, 2006.

"Is it indifference or is it maturity?"

For most I speak with, it begins with a feeling of being powerless to affect change. That, in turn, leads to indifference. Quite insightful really, when you realize there are thousands of people in the community who expressed the desire for change at one point or another.

@LiveForIt

Last official statement from Hyperion (please note this is Hyperion talking, not the Friedens):

Quote:
We will specifically not comment on any legal issues as raised by Amiga
Inc. management as these matters are finally and at our explicit and
repeated request being handled by both parties' respective lawfirms and
we find it highly inappropriate to publically comment on these matters
in the meanwhile. Suffice it to say that some statements by Amiga Inc.
were clearly in contradiction with the views held by Hyperion's
attorneys both on a legal and on a factual level.

Note:above edited to stay on topic of prior question and was posted on AW September 20, 2006.

Added:Same day posted on Amiga.org by Wayne, the email from Bill McEwen as a clarification to the 25 questions, answers, and comments posted on the same website:

Quote:
I want to make sure that it is understood that we at Amiga want OS 4 to ship and to ship on a variety of hardware. We would not have spent the money for the embedded products if we did not think that OS 4 could fit into the long term as well as short term plans of the company and the community. I probably spoke too loosely when I referred to certain things being "in the hands of the lawyers" and so forth. People can (and did) interpret this in a variety of ways, some of which were far away from what I intended (a lot spicier, but wrong). What I meant to get across was that we are in discussions, and that some of these discussions involve our lawyers talking with their lawyers (we are talking about legal documents, after all) -- and we have every reason to believe that everyone will continue to get along just fine. Anyone looking for blood and guts will just have to be disappointed. (It is a very interesting experience having your every word interpreted, re-intepreted, misinterpreted, analyzed, dissected, spun, massaged, clarified, confused, etc., etc. You should try it some time.)
I will be spending some more time in the next couple of days to try and better clarify my answers, where questions have come up.

@COBRA

Yep. I covered that in #35:
here.

Surely there is no mystery surrounding what Bill wants.
Surely there is no mystery in what the Friedens want.
There is simply NO way this amount of effort would have been put in the Artic reference platform on a pure "lark".

@Hans

Yep. I know that one.
Here's another in a thread that you posted in:
http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/v ... hp?topic_id=15867&forum=2

The above was more sophisticated and ambitious and included tools for each individual developer to manage their work on a true project basis, including the ability to enlist their own testers, receive donations, give progress reports, etc.

It was even supported/sanctioned by many VIPs.
Several folks on this site saw the above during beta while it was online for testing and could fill you in on how this was progressing at the time.

I think it's a case of one thing building on another.
If you saw progress on the OS/hardware front, then such sites would again receive attention. Otherwise, sadly, the efforts stymied on one front affects the efforts on other fronts such as managing a dev site.

@thread

Two links good for AHI:
http://arp2.berlios.de/ahi
http://www.lysator.liu.se/ahi/
Article on the homepage change:
http://amigaworld.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=3206

I believe the reference above to a "new" audio system is for the "eXTream" sound system by Davy Wentzler.
Last statement on that:
Quote from DaveAE on June, 2006:
I have been working on a new sound system called eXtream that already has a multi-channel Envy24HT driver. However, this won't come for OS4 final, nor in a foreseeable time (at least not this year).

Village Tronic info available here:

Hope this helps.

While I won't quote from the errata, I don't mind linking to a thread which illustrates some of the issues: GX

Oh, the "fixes". What are the "consequences" of these bugs?
(just curious)


There are several documents available on GX "errata".
Strangely, mine were freely and readily available when I hunted them down.
Now (today), I notice a dead link on IBM's website, with the following message:

Quote:
Our Apologies

You have attempted to enter a controlled access area. IBM Microelectronics uses a entitlement process to protect potentially sensitive data.


That is, of course, management speak for "protecting info about our screwups."

Not surprisingly from a business who had Mai Logic for a partner.

It is well known, however, how much time the GX chip cost the project (OS4).

Maybe some developer would like to comment.
I would rather not.

"What's the practical gain in refitting GL instead of GX? An extra 100MHz? Am I missing something?"

What ssolie was so delicately understating was that the GX is a buggy chip and well worth replacing with a GL.

@Raziel

I believe your address for general business of ACube is correct.
My comment was based on Max's response to Jack, which was clearly about the CPUs. It MAY be a dedicated address that Max wishes to use for non-general business.

Let's wait for clarification from the source, as it is I who could be wrong about this.

@Raziel

Pardon the correction, but Max is asking people like Jack, on issues concerning the CPUs to contact him at the address shown in post #41.

Max, correct me if I am wrong about this.
