Maybe because he has been asked not to share it?

@ikir

You should not give any hints, imho. You know the kind of response they generate here...

I heard a rumour that the legal wranglings between Amiga Inc and Hyperion arn't as bad as they are rumoured to be in the rumours that are going round. That is just a rumour though!

Sure I won't good news !!! But it seems that you are not willing/capable to deliever those, only bait bait and more bait.

Nice to see that the majority of you don't even have OS4 or are MOS users.

Now you got me confused .... only people who have OS4 are A1-owners (except betatesters), and as these allready have HW that is more powerfull than SAM (atleast on paper), it's only natural that they aren't concerned much about it...

Yeah sure, wise move ...... if you would follow it through

@number

What has the number of people "involved" to with the chance of success ?

In the end it boils down to just a few individuals, the one(s) with the $$$ and the other one designing the board.

Sofar noone has shown a working SAM (not even a proto), noone has made a clear statement bout the OS4-licence, but we have Ikir spouting nonsense "I know what you not know"-type messages.

So maybe it's all just a hoax (in the sense like so many other failed projects), and Ikir fell for it in pure fanboy-style, just like he did when he was feverishly backing the SharkPPC, or it's all true in which case I would advice Acube to issue a "cease and desist" as he is working hard on ruining their credibility

I think I need to add a few thinks here:

I'm sick and tired of Ikir (and others) hinting when the can't say a clear word.
I'm sick and tired of BBRV posting each of his brainfarts as next big thing.
I'm sick and tired of Ironfist&TMHGM preaching said brainfart as the "real new testament".
I'm sick and tired of of the Frieden's drama-acting.
I'm sick and tired of the MOS-team making crap jokes like "only 1.5 more weeks".

Did I miss someone ? Wanna annonce an announcemt ? Feel free to put yourself onto that list

All these people should really smash their heads to the wall atleas a dozen times (I'm willing to lend a hand if needed) to get the megalomania out of their systems. Afterwards they can get their acts together and post news when they got news to post.

The following link is probably the latest public info on the project, from when it appeared at Electronic, 2006.
I think all you can do is read Jens Schoenfeld and Michael Boehmer and decide for yourself, based on the stage they saw the project last November.
I have no doubt you will receive updated info from the developers, who seem to be the only people you wish to hear from.

Please note their statement regarding the ACube website:

Quote:

The website will be the main source of information, news and resources regarding all the products and services offered by ACube Systems.

Öhm ?? Yes I know that report, a non-working (there's no point showing something under glass if you could show it working) proto-board (10 layers hand-placed caps).

And thats the only solid info we got.

If someone has more recent info he should either spread it (and tell where he got it), or if he can't STFU.

@framiga

Sure thats the right way to do buisness, but why isn't anybody doing buisness that way ?

not sure to have got it right but anyway, everybody is free to express his enthusiasm like he wish! or not?

@Kronos

The article also mentions the 10 layers as something that might make
the board a very expensive one. If it's anywhere near the price of
a new PS3 then you can count me out.

Has ther been any info on the latest designs ? Is it still a 10 layer board ?

Count me out too. I appreciate the effort and ACube seems much more professional than e.g. ACK or Troika. But a bord with these specs and at this price just doesn't do it for me.

There hasn't been any response from the Troika guys to this thread. Can we finally officially write this project off as "dead"?
Just another pathetic failure that makes an entry on the "Amiga history" website right behind Merlancia?

In this way, I think, you are not helping acube, you are only degrading it.

If they need/want to say something to community, I'm sure they are able to post without your help.

@elatour
Getting cross & setting a (relatively) arbitrary personal deadline isn't going to make the rest of the world change to your liking. In fact, I'm pretty sure that you'll be disappointed in two weeks time...

If you feel that angry with OS4's lack of progress, then I really suggest that you stop expecting things to change "soon". Does that mean you should "Leave The Amiga" (or other equally melodramatic statement) ? Up to you, by why not just put the Amiga on a back-burner, and find other things to interest you, until/if OS4 gets sorted? You'll feel far less frustrated

I would rather have an OS4 board out there AT ANY PRICE, than none at all ! I'm not saying that I would buy it, but at least that'd open the door to the price falling in the future.

I fully agree. ACube is a professional company and doesn't need anyone like Ikir to scatter hints like that. This is what I liked about ACube: They acted very professional and there were no crappy hints with cropped photographs, no fuzzy photos showing "off the shelf memory", no laughable product descriptions ("Teh amazing Kryptos sound system") and no sham-contest (no Give-Sam-a-face crap).

By the way, when will we see the winners of the give Amy her face contest? I am sure the participants who worked very hard for the case renderings would like to see a response.
They first promised an Amy beta board as the main price. Even if it doesn't run, it could make an odd but valuable addition to any Amiga-collection. You could place it next to the Boxer, C65 and some paintings of Tsunami-cases.

And you think that all people are like you?
well, an Amd eight core, wow, me wants, wait +300 wats of power dissipation and i will be forced to run Windows, because the only OS very efficient in SMP (BeOS) don´t support it.Count me out, just doesn't do it for me.

I don´t know if you are clever enough to take the idea
