Bill McEwan is of course referring to the Terron-based AmigaOne that he now claims is not an AmigaOne. Don't you just love it how he changes "the truth" to suit his (or rather the investor's) needs.

I note that according to Bill McEwen then our mobos were Amiga Ones and machines were built around them.

"The Amiga shook the industry in the 80's with world-leading multimedia architecture. QNX's RTOS resembles many of the Amiga's unique qualities. It provides the foundation in reaching our vision for the rebirth of Amiga in the new millenium." - Jeff Schindler, General Manager of Amiga, Inc.

Ahh, those were the days

Seems if the motherboards are not Amigaone than Amiga could be sued for fraud as stated earlier by Methuselas on aimga.org , or Bill himself since his name is on the statement from above link.
If this makes it clear these motherboards are Amiga it would apear Bills statement in the lawsuit are bogus.
Screwed either way.

Well, anyone else who has not yet received the T-Shirt and the discount coupon which were promised back then? Dunno if I should laugh about my stupidity or cry about the whole situation .

And I still have the bill from 07/03/2002 documenting paying EUR 50,- for the "I am AMIGA" Club... I guess I shouldn't have ordered via a local dealer because now I'd have to sue them instead of Bill's company directly.

When did Eyetech and Escena break up, and when was the MAI/Teron based design get announced? I honestly don't know that, but we need that date to compare with the date on this thing from McEwen. If this is useful to Hyperion, they need to prove this statement was made after everyone, including McEwen knew that this was not Escena's design anymore, and that this kind of statement is thus supportive of the change from what is named in the OEM contract. McEwen could counter with "I was referring to the Escena AmigaOne design in that, not the MAI/Teron design", and without some dates to back up anything otherwise, he could very well succeed with such a claim in court, as this old web page does not seem to have any mention that the "AmigaOne" design had changed from the OEM contract definition.

I'd imagine that if you sue Amiga Inc. they'll just play the "That was Amiga Washington, we are Amiga Delaware" card. I still don't understand how Amiga Washington sold all of their assets/IP to Amiga Delaware and ended up with exactly zilch at the end of the two transactions, and was thus still 100% incapable of paying any of their debts to any degree whatsoever. That's not much of a "sale", is it? I'd like to understand how this "free gift" legally cleanses them completely of Amiga Washington's legal liabilities.

So with Escena concentrating their efforts on the bridge card, and us deciding to use off-the-shelf north and south bridge parts for the main board it made sense to subcontract the design and manufacture to experts in this field, who, surprise, surprise, are far east based (hence the problem with customs on Friday). The board (currently) runs an open firmware-compatible bios and runs PPC linux (which is how we know that the hardware works properly before OS4.0 is released).

I think this makes it fairly clear that Escena were no longer involved in the development of the AmigaOne by FEB 2002.

Depending on the publication date of Total Amiga 11, that will be enough to dispute the SE, XE and Micro are not AmigaOne BS. Fleecy speaks will make a good read in court. We also know that the Escena A1 never even initialized let alone boot Linux.

@Rob

Guys, as I posted before. AI is not saying that the AmigaOnes you bought arent AmigaOnes. They are saying that ACube cant sell AmigaOnes (as only Eyetech has that right) or distribute software for AmigaOnes, because every amigaone already has OS4 (or actually should have OS4). Thats why this comes up only in Paragraph 22, which is all about Hyperion/ACube alliance.

"Contrary to the rumours spread in some circles, we have spent considerable time and resources in creating a strategy that will see the Amiga desktop platform move back into the mainstream and take its proper place in the market. "

i.e we'll sell some Jackpot games, let Hyperion finish OS4, wait until they go past their deadline, file a lawsuit and start back from scratch.

Wahey.

It is confusing but he says.

Too me that means hes refering to the eyetech boards.
