Newtek
If you find any others, please add them. Might be interesting to see what others are doing today.

Reporting on, but not present at the show:
Macrosystems (VLAB/Draco/Casablanca)
Old timers might recognize "Eric Kloor (Owner, MacroSystem US)" as Noahji's.

Yep.
And although not a current company like the above list, you could mention Avid Technologies who acquired Elastic Reality, formerly ASDG of Adpro fame. Perhaps some part of Amiga lives on in Avid then.

hehe, not strictly related, but anyone who went to NAB could see my latest PPC-board on display _________________ This weeks pet peeve: Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean. |

If only Amiga Inc, or Eyetech (or perhaps DiscreetFX) in the early 2000's had had the idea of contacting Newtek to sell their former Videotoaster 3 bundled with AmigaONE (it required just only drivers and a GUI) we could had sold thousand of that ones just due to the name...
What a waste of opportunities... Last edited by Raffaele on 13-Apr-2014 at 02:01 PM.

Actually at least 3 of the above companies still had interest in these NG days.
I don't think explaining what the interests were would be at all helpful.
But it does say something about not being able to get either Commodore or Amiga entirely out of ones' blood. heh.

A-Eon Technology Ltd. posted on facebook today:

Way back in 2013 Trevor wrote about Macro Systems in his Classic Reflections series for Amiga Future magazine. David Brunet has now translated the article into French and through the power of instant translation it is now available to read in many different languages on the Obligement website. |

Quite an incredible contribution to Amiga I'd say.

| Just for those who may not know already, the original articles in german and english are readable at Amiga Future directly, thus no need for autotranslation in these cases:
Amiga Future, issue 104, September 2013
page 42, english
page 42, german
Higher-resolution PDF version can be purchased at the Amiga Future online shop. _________________ amiga-news.de |

Thank you.

Furthermore it revealed that the MacrosystemUS company had no relationship with Macrosystem GmbH in Germany |
I gather he means the businesses were independent of one another, as there clearly was a relationship.
Noahji's had their own project manager who assembled teams of testers in the U.S. and reports/communications went back and forth with Germany extremely often. Betas and Gammas (yes, gammas) came from Germany through Noahji's project manager. That relationship existed during the period of VLABmotion testing, as well as through the transition to DRACO. (unless I dreamed the whole thing)
one of many threads, including posts from people who worked for and/or with them
interesting later communication with the company
I spoke with Eric Kloor some years ago about a possible Amiga opportunity. He, in turn informed me that he had contacted Jorge Sprave and that Steven Kelsey, who designed so much of the Amiga end was still around as well. Unless I totally misunderstood the conversations (which I did not), they were interested as a group.

| Technically not an Amiga company itself, but Todor Fay of Blue Ribbon SoundWorks was there for his company NewBlue and Blender started on Amiga but I'm not sure if they had any presence at NAB.
I can't believe there are a few that actually survived as the same company, so this is an interesting thread. That was a hard, forced platform shift.
