The other manufacturers will claim the same. Users will wait until they
can see and touch the products. Some of us lost deposits to Phase5, and
are extremely doubtful about BPlan.

But Dave Haynie has now joined Merlancia (who are basing their designs
on BPlan's motherboards). That makes the project a bit more convincing,
but not much, as the Metabox company he was with before also went bust.

I would like to see both MorphOS and AmigaOS 4 on the market, as then
there will be competition to see which can run Amiga programs better and
faster. If one or other has a slower emulator, they will have to improve
it sharpish.
