As yet no announcement ias been made by VIScorp or Amiga Technologies regarding the future of their proposed deal and the future of the Amiga itself. Mat Bettinson travelled to Toulouse in France to hear Bill Buck and his partners addressing the Amiga development community for a second time (see news), but nothing conclusive was said. However, it would seem as though VIScorp are more interested in their own ED and its derivatives than the Amiga as we know it. They have said that they would like third parties to develop and sell the Amiga itself. So what will Amiga Technologies do then? The 50 days due diligence' which VIScorp have taken advantage of (to assess AT and its assets) ended on 1st June by my reckoning, so we will be looking for some firm announcements from them by next issue. If VIScorp are looking for third parties to carry on the mantle of Amiga they might not have to look any further than AT's own doorstep. As we go to press three German companies have announced machine and operating system development. One. PIOS, has been set up by ex-Amiga Technologies and Commodore people, including Stefan Domeyer. John Smith. Dr Peter Kittell and Dave Haynie. Phase 5 have announced further PowerPC Amiga-compatible development and ProDAD are working on a new OS too.
