Support from Eyetech (even if it is just manufacturing and/or sales) would be a fantastic boost to the AmigaFive projet, as Eyetech allready ahve relations ships with several maufacturers and are an established company with experience in the PowerPc market they have a good reputation which would bode well with both investors and suppliors of parts.
The last thing I want to do is kill a company that has helped to revive the AmigaOS, if I thought that this project woudl then I would never have started it but Eyetech is primeraly a reseller and so it is my beleif that this project would in actual fact strengthen their position in both the Amiga and Linux markets as well as alowing them to branch out into new markets. Don't forget taht once the ATX board is done Micro-ATX (Dual processor?) and even (possibly, depending on Power and thermal considerations - although if apple can do it with an iMac we should be able to) a mini-itx G5 (single processor).

I went away and had a think and was just going to post something along the lines of what you have posted.

Eyetech have all the channels - if DigitalDisaster developed the board there is no reason that Eyetech couldnt use all there channels to bring said board to market.

It could work for both DigitalDisaster as well as Eyetech.

I guess the most complex thing would be negoitiating, and porting OS 4 to it. It was said in the past that a Peg version of OS 4 could be made provided Gensi met all the requirements pertaining to the licence agreement. We know Eyetech can meet these. But now that KMOS own the OS will future licencing agreements remain the same?

Eyetech are on Holiday at the moment - maybe Digital Disaster should take this thread and go see Eyetech in private and see what can be done. It could be a relationship that works for both of them.
