I have been researching the viability of a completely new computing platform since May 2001. I could say that it is Amiga inspired but that would be misleading, for it would bring up ideas of a platform resurrection. It would be more accurate to think of it as an Amiga reincarnation. It?s a large scale project that requires $1M+ to start-off and has nothing to do with AmigaOS 4, Morphos (MOS), or AROS. If you?ve read some of my other Op-Eds you?ll know what I think of all of these.

Nevertheless, I felt that it would be a nice exercise to put down how I would have approached the situation were I asked for a plan or strategy, or if I were the primary angel investor in this chapter of the Amiga story. The year is 2009 and the mediation process has just been finalized with a somewhat favorable outcome for Hyperion, and in this version, Trevor Dickinson has not yet had any discussions with Ben Hermans.
