Let me make it simple for you. Alan lied, Alan made alot of profit for each sale of a Teron board. There that was easy. -Tig

And - did it happen? How many AmigaOnes did Redhouse sell to people "outside the community"? And why wouldn't they have rather bought a Teron-board from Terrasoft instead? The AmigaOne "product" by Eyetech was only marketed for the Amiga market and userbase. See the similarities to a rebranded "Moana"?

I don't see how this was the reason why Hyperion didn't do it, since it would have been exactly the same situation as with the Teron/AmigaOne. There is an existing board which gets rebranded and is subsequently marketed for the Amiga platform and userbase.
