So now everyone is here.. Wow! Even Seehund. This must be a topic about OS4 for Pegasos
or OS4 for x86..

I personally don't want OS4 for Pegasos2 anymore. I used to though. Now it's old. Better
hardware is coming.
Too bad Bplan didn't make a upgrade with a better northbridge for its G4 board.

I would say cutting out that part was more than fair, since it's more your own personal opinion instead of factual discussion.

Instead I think it was unfair because not only the part he cut out was an integrating part of what he quoted, but also because he has thrown all the blame on AInc (and that was his opinion as well), when the part omitted already anticipated a possible reason that showed how the blame (in the Genesi case, which was the only one I was discussing in the original post he decided to answer to) should be redirected to somewhere else.
And, BTW, my reason was more than just an opinion: a simple one-step reasoning based on the public behaviour of BB (which is a fact).

One could answer with a similar paragraph featuring McBill, Barry, Alan or Ben, heck even the Friedens could qualify..... But what would it bring other then yet another flamefest ?

No need to involve those people here, nor to start a flamefest. And I can't see what these things you say here have anything to do with what I was discussing.

Quote:

Would it change anything in regard of the impossibilties of getting a licence (specially when it's for HW made by Genesi) ?

Tell BB, who seems to think that bringing the subject on forums has indeed such a capability

Quote:

Would it change anything bout the lack of (decent) HW OS4 has suffered from eversince 2001 ??

In fact, there are people who are trying to get something done the proper way, instead of shouting and whining and attacking and threatening on public forums.

@number6 The aim of the Draco was to give MacroSystems a way to sell video-HW without having to do a mayor redisgn, and without having to rely on discontinued C=-HW. As such it reached it goal, atleast for some time. One might also argue that it helped slowing down the decay of the Amiga-community. But it never was suitable way of getting Amiga back into full life.

Thank you for your well thought out reply.
Your original list of projects pretty much demanded a post on my part to indicate
that "Draco" did NOT belong on that list, due to your reasoning behind your
submission of "the list":

Quote:

Well lets look at other attempts to do lifesupport for dying OSes by HW.

You clarified above the aim of the Draco, which was -not- to do life support for
any OS. I think you described it well more as a "byproduct" of the system's creation,
and not as a reasoning -for- its creation. I have frankly seen this similar list many
times, and I don't think it is accurate to include Macrosystems U.S. or Macrosystems
GMBH A/V products on such a list.
Thank you for amending your original statement.
