Hi Don,
There being one small point of difference between the Amiga market and that
of the PC, as everyone is constantly being told they need a PC, nay nagged.
;)
With so many differing ways to upgrade an A1200/A4000 through Mediator,
Prometheus, Predator, Bplan, Aone, and apparently Mick`s board has been a
lot longer in development, so it could in fact be nearer to completion.
Obviously with only one person working on the design it may take longer to
develop, but as others have previously pointed out, any fragmentation of the
Amiga market can only be detrimental at this time. A further point to
consider is that the first board into full production may get the most users
to switch to their product, even if it`s not the best designed, as was the
PC in the past.
Yours,
