Proper companies have a clear "road map" label with risk disclaimers for their in-progress R&D promises.
What's being sold only has actual deliverable hardware features.
Clear communication is not a strong point with Let's "Keep this party going". So much for being a lawyer. _________________ Amiga 1200 (rev 1D1, KS 3.2, PiStorm32/RPi CM4/Emu68) Amiga 500 (rev 6A, ECS, KS 3.2, PiStorm/RPi 4B/Emu68) Ryzen 9 7950X, DDR5-6000 64 GB RAM, GeForce RTX 4080 16 GB |

I ve decided to hire local mediator. I ll pay my half of his fee

Dear Refferals,
I wish to make a claim in direct undelivered product AmigaOS 4.2 against AmigaKit as part of purchased AmigaOne x1000 purchase. Machine was delivered with betaOS with promise of final version prepaid, which was clearly indicated and accepted by customer.
But product was never delivered.
Proof of purchase can be obtained from both parties, while AmigaKit
Beside named fee (about 80GBP) damages caused by undelivery were purchases of additional software AmigaOS 4.1 FE AEON Enhancer x1000 Radeon Driver AEON linux for x1000
All in range up to 200 GBP
Also I had to buy Wi Fi card LAN card Southern Island gfx card
All in range of 200 GBP
This is indeed small claim but its important to have IT salers and suppliers from UK being responsible.
Delay was never communicated by AEON and AmigaKit
When after about 1.5 years customer complained on unusubality with beta software and wished to return whole machine, he was denied by some strange 1 year base guarantee for whole machine, which should be 2 years by EU laws of time.

---------------------
TO MEDIATOR IN UK
Hello, My name is Vojin Vidanovic, a Ph D in social sciences living in Belgrade Serbia https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=62Briq0AAAAJ&hl=en
As youth I was Amiga user (personal computer) https://amitopia.com/interview-with-vojin-vidanovic-ras-voja-vox/
In 2010 AEON and AmigaKit announced Amiga inspired computer AmigaOne x1000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmigaOne_X1000
In September 2013 I have paid €2,584.64 to AmigaKit Leaman Computing (that is today AmigaKit as provided) but full OS promised was never given to me. age 5 of x1000 quickstart guide, like here https://intuitionbase.com/sites/default/files/2024-08/x1000_quickstartguide.pdf Your “First Contact” AmigaONE X1000 system is supplied with AmigaOS 4.1 Update 5 and a license for AmigaOS 4.2 which can be downloaded from the Hyperion Entertainment website when it is released.
As of until 2024 AEON and AmigaKit, exclusive x1000 distributor havent contact me on it.
Instead they sold me about 200e hw and 200e software that was to partialy mitigate what full final OS 4.2 would do (OS 4.1 beta 5 did not support much of x1000 hardware)
AmigaKit is seller shifting responsibility to its supplier AmigaKit https://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic_id=45349&forum=32&viewmode=flat&order=0 @vox
The offer of 4.2 was made by Hyperion Entertainment who were partners of the original A-EON Technology CVBA company. You should contact them and ask where OS 4.2 is ?
A-EON Technology Ltd produced the later X5000, A1222+ and are nothing to do with Hyperion or the CVBA company. Due to the problems and delays with OS4 development, A-EON Technology Ltd was forced to create the Enhancer Software to be able to release the X5000/A1222+.
AmigaKit Ltd has nothing to do with any of the above.Last edited by amigakit on 17-Nov-2024 at 04:04 PM. _________________ Amiga Kit Amiga Store Links: www.amigakit.com | New Products | A600GSHowever, They are seller so they do have everything from user POV. Shifting blame does not help.
AEON is also UK A-EON Technology Ltd, Asquith House, Unit 1 Dyfrig Rd, Cardiff CF5 5AD. United Kingdom.
So I would file against AmigaKit first, AEON if I have to. Both in Cardiff
Clear now? Topic needs some IT knowledge, imagine having Windows XP with no drivers for half hardware on PC, forcing you to buy un needed hw that is supported, new software and that Windows 7 that would support fully your hardware was never given to you. You would sue company that charged you, its on them to go down the lane and refund cost.
Hope its clear now Vojin_________________ OS 3.x AROS and MOS supporter, fi di good, nothing fi di unprofessionalism. Learn it harder way! SinclairQL and WII U lover :D YT http://www.youtube.com/user/rasvoja |

I'm confused! What difference would AmigaOS 4.2 have made? What feature were you waiting for? SMP Multicore? Who cares this many years on? I'm sure you were after a technological curiosity rather than a fully functional computer or you'd have bought a computer that didn't have an EOL CPU, had an office suite and also a modern browser?! Everyone knew what these systems were i.e. a risk like the Eyeyech machines were (more so in the case of Eyetech / MAI Logic hardware)! Also, why have you waited over 10 years to complain?!
Do what Trevor did; lick your wounds and buy the next Amiga NG pipedream or bail and buy something else! Simples! Last edited by BigD on 22-Nov-2024 at 09:34 PM. Last edited by BigD on 22-Nov-2024 at 10:55 AM.

Trevor can lick his 2000 eur wounds how much he wants.
OS 4.2 should have drivers for Nemo incl sound, network, full Warp3D and OpenGL and yes, dual core, while being 32 bit. In nutshell, OS that supports the board.
As you know, not having it costed at least 200 GBP more in sw and 200 in hw and this is low estimate with no postage, no import fees.
Browser and Libre are separate lie.
Please lick Trevors ... wounds If they did refund it all when I wanted to return it, I would certainly move on, but they had some wicked 1 year base guarantee, no returns against EU laws.
AmigaKit and Trevor AEON are so sound bussiness they havent responded when emailed on this at all. Serbian politricks stylee

Fat chance bro!
Anyway its sad no one had balls to do this before, so a Ph D from Belgrade has to stand for consumer rights and be called mad.
Do you have shame feeling and good upbringing?
Paul Balen 1:26 PM (1 minute ago) to me
Thank you for contacting me.
Although I can mediate these cases and am familiar with technology dispute cases I do not recommend you use a private mediator for a small claim as the fee would be disproportionate. In addition mediation is consensual and I can see no evidence that the target defendant has agreed to mediate.
Assuming that is the case I suggest without seeking to give you advice that you write a letter of claim and if you have no response issue a claim in the small claims court. There is then a court based mediation scheme that is free of charge apart of course for the court fee which you will already by then have paid. Last edited by vox on 22-Nov-2024 at 12:29 PM.

A-EON Technology Ltd. will claim they’re an entirely different company than A-EON Technology CVBA, but it’s all just smoke and mirrors - when AmigaKit bought into the A-EON brand, they also bought the baggage and garbage that comes with it. _________________ B5D6A1D019D5D45BCC56F4782AC220D8B3E2A6CC |

why didn't you invest in a PowerMac G4/G5 and a MorphOS license? Much less money and much more polished software?

WoW! MorphOS! Shouldnt you be using CommodoreOS on C64x? I ll keep ignoring you just for CUSA support and trolling.
I do have iMac G5 since I retired x1000 in 2018 (and later sold in 2023)
Seems time works for me,
On both direct summ (OS 4.2) and damages UK court says you have right to interest in your claim
I now claim approx 460 GBP which is 35 GBP per year - about 350 for 10 years, about 380 by now. So I might get a fat court refund.
If you were owed ÂŁ1,000:
the annual interest would be ÂŁ80 (1000 x 0.08 = 80)
you’d divide £80 by 365 to get the daily interest: about 22p a day (80 / 365 = 0.22)
after 50 days this would be ÂŁ11 (50 x 0.22 = 11)
@kolla That they need to explain to court. Someone was liable and these are same people. Last edited by vox on 22-Nov-2024 at 08:38 PM.

The product worked and had less hardware bugs than the previous Mai Logic AmigaOne hardware! The drivers and software development was slow and some on board features were never supported but work arounds and supported cards were forthcoming! This IMHO was as successful an AmigaNG launch as there has ever been. The X5000/40 by comparison had no fanfare and 3 cores idling compared to just one on the X1000! The hardware is hence even more underserving of the X5000 hardware!
Your expectations were too high! It was a risky purchase to "Keep the Party Going!"
You owned one of the few PA-6T CPUs not destined for military spec hardware! What a claim to fame! Last edited by BigD on 22-Nov-2024 at 09:46 PM.

Please, look yoursel at the mirror and say keep party going 3 times.
And you havent really used it? x5000 corrects most of these plus adds MorphOS but Trevor didnt send us replacement boards, which would be decent thing to do, since we sponsored its development.
Again, Baron, STFU if you havent really used CFE.

Let me get this right; you EXPECTED Trevor to send you a X5000 mobo to replace your X1000 one (now sold) free of charge because of the boot loader? I get that it's annoying that CFE can't be upgraded but hell, if everyone got a refund or replacement product after the firmware updates finished there'd be no one left in business! Is the X5000 what you thought the X1000 was, is that the problem? Last edited by BigD on 23-Nov-2024 at 08:01 AM.

It can read amigaboot from USB but if you intend to boot OS4 off USB that won't work. There were some changes to support ISO9660 over USB in amigaboot. But I couldn't get it to work. I tried FFS, SFS and ISSO9660 formatted USB. All same result. If amigaboot can load it cannot find USB device even after loading from USB device.
I found there is a beta LAN driver. But was too unstable for any release. What I don't understand is how Linux has had a working driver for years but this cannot help to assist the O$ driver.
I had a souped up HD4890 that wasn't put to best use in my X1000. Was noisy and took 20 seconds to boot on the monitor until CFE kicked in. But I know that a 5450 or similar and above would break as there would be no driver back then. What card did you have? |
