About phase 5
Phase 5 building phase 5 digital products, based in Oberursel near Frankfurt, are internationally operating manufacturers of hardware and software products. The company is entirely owned by its founders, Gerald Carda and Wolf Dietrich. Since the market launch of its first product line in 1992 this company, which consists of an experienced team of the first Amiga users and developers, quickly established itself as one of the leading manufacturers in the Amiga market. Since 1992 its products have been distinguished many times, including 20 awards for Product of the Year in Amiga journals.

In 1995 phase 5 supplied accessories to the value of some DM 12 million (5.5 million £ or 8 million US$) in the Amiga market alone. Since the Christmas season of 1995 almost 30,000 hardware products have been delivered. The product portfolio for Amiga includes accelerator cards, SCSI controllers and graphics cards. In these fields phase 5 digital products has repeatedly proved itself to be manufacturer that is a forerunner and an innovative leader, for instance in bringing out the first Zorro III-DMA-SCSI controller world-wide, the Fastlane Z3, in producing the first 68030 card world-wide with a DMA-SCSI controller for the Amiga 1200, in offering the first 68060 card world-wide for Amiga systems (the Cyberstorm 060/50 for A4000), in manufacturing the first 64-bit graphics card world-wide with full system-integrated 24-bit support (the CyberVision64 for A3000/A4000) or in bringing out the first 68060 card for the A1200 world-wide, the Blizzard 1260.

In addition to the AMIGA business, phase 5 digital products has signed to the Apple Developers Support a certain time ago, and is using the know how resulted from the PowerPC development from the first days on synergeticallyy for the Macintosh accelerator board development. From September '96 on this will result into the availability of Maccelerate PowerPC accelerator boards using PowerPC 604p CPUs at 150/166, 180 and 200 MHz clock frequency for upgrade of PowerMacintosh models with PCI bus.

Along with intensive development activities as a Beta developer for Motorola in the 68060 and PowerPC field, hardware developments at phase 5 include pure research work in the field of multimedia high-performance DSPs and in the latest development department ASE (advanced silicon engineering) VLSI chip design. An expanding team of some 20 staff is currently working on these projects at the company's headquarters in Oberursel on premises covering an area of 960 square metres. In the adjoining service area, which covers an area of almost 600 square metres, the company, as from August 96, will be producing hardware products - including the new PowerPC products - in its own, highly modern manufacturing plant using the most recent manufacturing techniques.
